USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING:
• If any parts are missing, damaged or
broken, do not operate your trimmer until
they have been replaced. Failure to do so
could result in possibly serious personal
injury.
• To prevent serious personal injury, always
use both the front handle and the rear
handle to hold the hedge trimmer during
operation. Keep hands away from blades.
Do not attempt to remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when the blades are
moving. Make sure that the blades have
stopped completely, and that the battery
pack is removed before clearing jammed
material from the blades. Do not grasp the
exposed cutting blades or cutting edges
when picking up or holding the unit.
• Clear the area to be cut before each
use. Remove all objects, such as cords,
lights, wire, or string, that could become
entangled in the cutting blade and create
a risk of serious personal injury.
• If the blade jams on any electrical cord
or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT
CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND
VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold
the hedge trimmer by the insulated rear
handle or lay it down and away from you
in a safe manner. Disconnect the electrical
service to the damaged line or cord before
