cut by the blade.
3. Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equip-
ment will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
4. 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 trim-
mer "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
5. 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
