English 6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
d)When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit,
make sure all power switches are off and the battery pack
is removed or disconnected. Unexpected actuation of the
hedge trimmer while clearing jammed material or
servicing may result in serious personal injury.
e)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.
f) Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting area.
Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or bushes
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
g)Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather conditions,
especially when there is a risk of lightning. This decreases
the risk of being struck by lightning.

extended-reach hedge trimmer near any electrical power
lines. Contact with or use near power lines may cause
serious injury or electric shock resulting in death.
b)Always use two hands when operating the extended-
reach hedge trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge
trimmer with both hands to avoid loss of control.
c) Always use head protection when operating the extended-
reach hedge trimmer overhead. Falling debris can result
in serious personal injury.
