from the cutter blade. Do not
remove cut material or hold ma-
terial to be cut when blades are
moving. Make sure the switch is
off when clearing jammed ma-

operating the hedge trimmer may result
in serious personal injury.

the handles, if there are two
handles. Loss of control of the equip-
ment may result in injuries.
