Hedge trimmer 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 inatten-
tion while operating the hedge trimmer may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter
blade stopped. When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer always fit the cutting device cover. Proper han-
dling 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 op-
erator an electric shock.
