POLE 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. Blades coast after turn off. A moment of in-attention 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 cutting blades.
• When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the cutting device cover.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutting blade may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of
control and result in serious personal injury.
• Before starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the blade is not in contact with any object.
• Stop the unit, remove the battery pack, and make sure the blade has stopped before setting
the unit down.
• Always stop the motor when cutting is delayed or when walking from one cutting location to
another.
• Keep unit clean of grass clippings and other materials. They may become lodged in the
cutting blades.
• Store the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or up high to prevent unauthorized use or
damage. Keep out of the reach of children or untrained individuals.
• DANGER – Keep hands away from blade. Contact with blade will result in serious personal
injury.
• Replace blade cover when unit is not in use.
• Never douse or squirt the unit with water or any other liquid. Keep handles dry, clean, and free
from debris. Clean after each use; see storage instructions.
• Secure the unit while transporting.
• Battery operated units do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore, they are
always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards even when unit is not operating.
• Keep cable away from cutting area. During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs and
can be accidentally cut by the blade.
• Do not use the extended-reach hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
• To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use near any electrical power lines. Contact with or
use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
• Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the
extended-reach hedge trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.
