handle with the cutter blade stopped.
When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer always fit the cutting
device cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutter blades.

gripping surfaces only, because the
cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Cutter blades
contacting a"live"wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live"and could
give the operator an electric shock.
4. Keep cable away from cutting area.

with blade will result in serious personal
injury.

current device with a tripping current of 30
mA or less.
SAFETY RULES FOR EXTENSION CORD
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to carry
the current your product will draw. An
undersized extension cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to
use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord. To reduce the risk of
disconnection of appliance cord from the
extension cord during operating:
