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
continue to move after the switch is turned off. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
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 starting and
resultant personal injury from the blades.
3. 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.
4. When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit, make sure
all power switches are off and the power cord is disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clearing jammed
material or servicing may result in serious personal injury.
5. Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the blade 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
