WARNING! - Risk of injury!
7.3.1 Specific safety warnings for hedge trimmers
Keep all parts of the body away from the blades. 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.
Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the blades 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, 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 unit, make sure all power switches are off and the battery is
removed. 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 surfaces only, because the blades may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. 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 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 conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, never use the extended-reach hedge trimmer near any electrical power lines.
Contact with or use near power lines may cause serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
Always use two hands when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge
trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.
Always use head protection when operating the extended-reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can
result in serious personal injury.
