SHRUB SHEAR SAFETY WARNINGS
○ Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the
switch is off when clearing jammed material. A
moment of inattention while operating the shrub shear
may result in serious personal injury.
○ Carry the shrub shear by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the
shrub shear always fi t the cutting device cover.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce
possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
○ Hold power tool 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 cable away from cutting area. During operation
the cable may be hidden in shrubs and can be
accidentally cut by the blade.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SHRUB SHEAR AND
GRASS SHEAR
1. Before starting work make sure there are no power
cables in the work area. The blade could come into
contact with the power cable causing electric shock,
ground faults and other accidents.
2. Hold the tool fi rmly with both hands during use to
prevent injury.
3. Keep your hands and all parts of the body away from the
blade to prevent contact that could lead to injury.
4. Make sure the blade and all accessories are properly
installed. Improper installation could cause the blade or
accessories to come loose resulting in an injury.
5. Make sure the blade is not cracked, deformed or
excessively worn before starting work. Do not use a
blade in this condition as it could break and cause
injury.
6. Do not use the tool to cut wire, metal plates or other
hard objects. The tool could be damaged and cause
injury.
7. If the tool does not work normally and is producing
strange noise, turn it off immediately and have it
inspected and repaired.
8. If the tool falls or strikes against an object, check
the blade and the body for damage, cracking and
deformation. Use of a damaged, deformed or cracked
blade could result in injury.
9. Do not disassemble the blade. This may result in injury.
