are moving. Blades continue to move
after the switch is turned off. A moment
of inattention while operating the grass
shears may result in serious personal in-
jury.
f.
When clearing jammed material or ser-
vicing the unit, make sure all power
switches are off and the battery pack
is removed or disconnected. Unexpec-
ted actuation of the grass shears while
clearing jammed material or servicing
may result in serious personal injury.
g. Carry the grass shears by the handle
with the blade stopped and taking care
not to operate any power switch. Prop-
er carrying of the grass shears will de-
crease the risk of inadvertent starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.
h. When transporting or storing the grass
shears, always fit the blade cover.
Proper handling of the grass shears will
decrease the risk of personal injury from
the blades.
