the protection provided by a safety device .

protective devices in place .
Check damaged parts before further use of the hedge trimmer . A guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function . Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect
its operation . A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless indicated elsewhere in this manual .
