Cordless Hedge Trimmer Safety Warnings

1. 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 continuetomoveaftertheswitchisturnedo󰀨.A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmermayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

2. 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 start- ingandresultantpersonalinjuryfromtheblades.10 ENGLISH

3. When transporting or storing the hedge trim-

mer, always t the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personalinjuryfromtheblades.

4. When clearing jammed material or servicing

the unit, make sure all power switches are o󰀨 and the battery pack is removed or discon- nected. Unexpected actuation of the hedge trim- merwhileclearingjammedmaterialorservicing mayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.

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.

6. Keep all power cords and cables away from

cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hid- den in hedges or bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.

Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather con- ditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.

8. When handing the hedge trimmer to other

person, once put the hedge trimmer on the ground and pick up the hedge trimmer after you completely take your hand o󰀨.
