components

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because

the cutter blade may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutter

blades contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the

power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Keep extension cord away from cutting area. During

operation the extension cord may be hidden in shrubs and can be

accidentally cut by the blade.

• Check the hedge for foreign objects, e.g. wire fences.

CAUTION: Do not expose to rain.

WARNING: Remove plug from the outlet immediately if the

extension cord becomes damaged or cut.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, wear approved safety equipment such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
