■
While operating the hedge trimmer, always hold it firmly
with both hands by the two handles. Ensure that the
operating position is safe and secure. The manufacturer

higher trimming is required, use an extended-reach
tool.

Blades are sharp. When handling the blade assembly,
wear non-slip, heavy duty protective gloves. Do not
place your hand or fingers between blades or in any
position where they could get pinched or cut. Never
touch the blade nor service the product unless the

cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning
saw to trim large stems.

worn blades.
