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 inattention 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 cutter blades.
 Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter blade may contact hidden
wiring. Cutter blades contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could
give the operator an electric shock.
 DANGER — Keep hands away from blade. Contact
with blade will result in serious personal injury.
 WARNING — Only use with handle and guard properly
assembled to hedge trimmer. The use of the hedge trim-
mer without the proper guard or handle provided may
result in serious personal injury.
 Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of control and result in
serious personal injury.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will re-
duce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which
can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of serious personal injury.
 Before starting the hedge trimmer, make sure the blade
is not in contact with any object.
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
 Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-
ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
