6. When clearing jammed material or servic-
ing the hedge trimmer, make sure all power
switches are off and the battery pack is

tion of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious per-

the foreign objects by hand may cause an injury
for the reason that the blades may move in reac-
