Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the
u
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.
When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
u
always fit the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal
injury from the blades.
When clearing jammed material or servicing the
u
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.
Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
u
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.
Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
u
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges
or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather
u
conditions, especially when there is a risk of
lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by
lightning.
