WARNING
Never attempt to operate
your power tool with one
hand. Loss of control of
the power tool resulting in
serious or fatal injury may
result. To reduce the risk
of cut injuries, keep
hands and feet away
from the cutting tool.
Never touch a moving
cutting tool with your
hand or any other part of
your body.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of unintentional
starting, never carry a plugged-in unit
from place to place with your finger on
the trigger switch. Be sure both switches
are disengaged when plugging in.
WARNING
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Special care
must be taken in slippery conditions and
in difficult, overgrown terrain. Watch for
hidden obstacles such as tree stumps,
roots and ditches to avoid stumbling. For
better footing, clear away fallen
branches, scrub and cuttings. Be
extremely cautious when working on
slopes or uneven ground.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from loss of
control, never work on a ladder, in a tree
or any other insecure support. Never
hold the machine above shoulder
height.
Working Conditions
WARNING
Never attempt to use an electric hedge
trimmer in locations where there is a
potential for explosive or flammable
atmospheres.
Operate your power tool under good
visibility and daylight conditions only.
Work carefully.
Do not cut any material other than
hedges or similar soft vegetation. Do not
cut stems greater than 16 mm (5/8 in.)
thick.
WARNING
If the vegetation being cut or the
surrounding ground is coated with a
chemical substance (such as an active
pesticide or herbicide), read and follow
the instructions and warnings that
accompanied the substance at issue.
WARNING
Inhalation of certain dusts, especially
organic dusts such as mold or pollen,
can cause susceptible persons to have
an allergic or asthmatic reaction.
Substantial or repeated inhalation of
dust and other airborne contaminants, in
particular those with a smaller particle
size, may cause respiratory or other
illnesses. Control dust at the source
where possible. Use good work
practices, such as operating the unit so
that the wind or operating process
directs any dust raised by the power tool
away from the operator. Follow the
recommendations of
EPA/OSHA/NIOSH and occupational
and trade associations with respect to
