OPERATION
•NEVER use unit within 15 meters (50 feet) of any power lines or wires that may be conducting electric- ity. Contact with wires carrying electrical current can result in shock or electrocution.
•NEVER exceed the cutting capacity of the hedge clippers - forcing the blades to cut materials thicker than the hedge clipper is designed to handle will result in jams, blade damage, and poor overall performance.
•ALWAYS use a suitable tool such as a power pruner or chain saw to cut branches larger than the hedge clipper will allow.
•NEVER attempt to cut more than 6 inches from a hedge or shrub in one cutting pass. Use multiple passes for cleaner, safer cuts, and better control.
•ALWAYS stop engine and disconnect spark plug lead before removing a blade obstruction.
•NEVER use dull, loose, or damaged blades. Keep blades properly adjusted and lubricated at all times.
•NEVER adjust blades when engine is running. Shut engine off, and disconnect spark plug lead from spark plug.
•ALWAYS use correct tools to perform blade adjust- ments. Use long wrenches to keep hands away from sharp blade edges.
•ALWAYS place blade cover on blades when trans- porting or storing unit.
