SAFETY WARNINGS

Cordless Grass Shear Safety Warnings

  1. Do not use the grass shear in bad weather conditions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
  2. Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area. Power cords or cables may be hidden and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
  3. Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
  4. Hold the grass shear by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the grass shear "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
  5. 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 continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the grass shear may result in serious personal injury.
  6. When clearing jammed material or servicing the grass shear, make sure the power switch is off and the battery pack is removed or disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the grass shear while clearing jammed material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.

  7. Carry the grass shear by the handle with the blade stopped and taking care not to operate the power switch. Proper carrying of the grass shear will decrease the risk of inadvertent starting and resultant personal injury from the blades.

  8. When transporting or storing the grass shear, always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the grass shear will decrease the risk of personal injury from the blades.
