Hedge trimmer safety warnings
Keep all parts of the body away from the
cutter blade. Do not remove cut material
nor hold material to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure the switch is off when
clearing jammed material. A moment of inat-
tention while operating the hedge trimmer
may result in serious personal injury.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter blade stopped. When transport-
ing or storing the hedge trimmer always fit
the cutting device cover. Proper handling of
the hedge trimmer will reduce possible per-
sonal injury from the cutter blades.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting blades con-
tacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Keep cable away from cutting area. During
operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
