SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR HEDGE TRIMMER

• 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. Blades coast after
turning them off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the 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.
• DangEr – Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade will result in serious personal injury.
