4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1

Hedge trimmer safety warnings:

a) Keep all parts of the body away from the
blade. Do not remove cut material or hold
material to be cut when blades are moving.
Blades continue to move after the switch is turned
off. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
b) Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the blade stopped and taking care not to
operate any power switch. Proper carrying of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of inadvertent
starting and resultant personal injury from the
blades.
c) When transporting or storing the hedge
trimmer, always fit the blade cover. Proper
handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk
of personal injury from the blades.
d) When clearing jammed material or servicing
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.
e) 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 electric
shock.
f) 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.
g) 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 lightning.
4.2 Extended-reach hedge trimmer safety
warnings:
a) To reduce the risk of electrocution, never
use the extended-reach hedge trimmer near
any electrical power lines. Contact with or use
near power lines may cause serious injury or
electric shock resulting in death.
b) Always use two hands when operating the
extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the
extended-reach hedge trimmer with both hands to
avoid loss of control.
c) Always use head protection when operating
the extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead.
Falling debris can result in serious personal injury.
