SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR HEDGE TRIMMER
 Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade. Do not remove cut material or hold material
to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing jammed material. Blades coast after
turning them off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
