OPERATION
WARNING:
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter blade may
contact hidden wiring. Cutter blades contact-
ing a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.
Keep all parts of the body away from the cut-
•
ter 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. A moment of inattention
while operating the hedge trimmer may result in
serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with
the cutter blade stopped. When transporting
or storing the hedge trimmer always fit the
cutting device cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal
injury from the cutter blades.

CAUTION:
• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal
fence or other hard objects while trimming. The
blade will break and may cause serious injury.
• Also, be careful for the shear blade not to con-
tact the ground.
• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly
from a ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not
work from anything wobbly or infirm.
Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 10 mm
diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut
with shears down to the hedge trimming level.
CAUTION:
• Do not cut off dead trees or similar hard objects.
Failure to do so may damage the tool.
• Do not trim the grass or weeds while using
hedge shear blade. The shear blade may entan-
gle the grass or weeds.
Hold the trimmer with one hand, depress the lock-off
button and pull the switch trigger and then move it in
front of your body.
