HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS

„ Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
„ Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
„ Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment
will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
„ Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
„ Keep all parts of the body away from the blade. Do not
remove cut material or hold material to be cut when
blades are moving. Blades continue to move after the
switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing the hedge trimmer may result inserious personal injury.
„ When clearing jammed material or servicing the hedge
trimmer, make sure all power switches are off and the
battery pack is removed or disconnected. Unexpected
actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
„ Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
blade stopped and taking care not to operate any
power switch. Proper carrying of the hedge trimmer will
decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant
personal injury from the blades.
„ When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer
always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury
from the blades.

mer without the proper guard or handle provided may
