• When transporting or storing the
hedge trimmer, always fit the blade
cover. Proper handling of the hedge trim-
mer will decrease the risk of personal
injury from the blades.
• When clearing jammed material or ser-
vicing the unit, make sure all power
switches are off and the battery pack is
removed or disconnected. Unexpected
actuation of the hedge trimmer while
clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
• When clearing jammed material or ser-
vicing the unit, make sure all power
switches are off and the lock-off is in
the locked position. Unexpected actua-
tion of the hedge trimmer while clearing
jammed material or servicing may result
in serious personal injury.
• Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated
gripping surfaces only, because the
blade may contact hidden wiring.
Blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the hedge trimmer
"live" and could give the operator an elec-
tric shock.
• Keep all power cords and cables away
from cutting area. Power cords or
cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the
blade.
• Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad
weather conditions, especially when
there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by light-
ning.
