b ) 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.
c ) Wear ear protection. Adequate protective equipment
will reduce the risk of hearing loss.
d ) 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.
e ) 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.
f ) When clearing jammed material or servicing the
hedge trimmer, 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.
g ) 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.
h ) When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always use the blade cover. Proper handling of the
hedge trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury
from the blades
