HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY
WARNINGS
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment
will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
hedge trimmer, 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.
g) 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.
h) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury
from the blades.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CORDLESS
HEDGE TRIMMER
1. Before starting work make sure there are no power
cables or foreign objects, such as wire fences or hidden
wiring in the work area. The blade could come into
contact with the power cable causing electric shock,
ground faults and other accidents.
2. Hold the tool fi rmly with both hands during use to prevent
injury. (Fig. 1-A)
3. Keep your hands and all parts of the body away from the
blade to prevent contact that could lead to injury.
4. Make sure the blade and all accessories are properly
installed. Improper installation could cause the blade or
accessories to come loose resulting in an injury.
5. Make sure the blade is not cracked, deformed or
excessively worn before starting work. Do not use a
blade in this condition as it could break and cause injury.
6. Do not use the tool to cut wire, metal plates or other hard
objects. The tool could be damaged and cause injury.
7. If the tool does not work normally and is producing
strange noise, turn it off immediately and have it
inspected and repaired.
8. If the tool falls or strikes against an object, check
the blade and the body for damage, cracking and
deformation. Use of a damaged, deformed or cracked
blade could result in injury.
9. Do not disassemble the blade. This may result in injury.
