HEDGE TRIMMER MODEL HT255

WARNING: ONLY USE WITH HANDLE AND HAND GUARD PROPERLY ASSEMBLED TO HEDGE TRIMMER. THE USE OF THE HEDGE TRIMMER WITHOUT THE PROPER GUARD OR HANDLE PROVIDED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

•Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer. Using one hand could cause loss of control and result in serious personal injury (Fig. 3).

FIG. 3

•Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter 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. Blades coast after turn off.

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 (Fig. 4). When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always attach the cutting device cover. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.

FIG. 4

•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.

•The hedge trimmer has no user serviceable parts. Blade replacement, service, and repair work requires special training. See “Service and support information” for contact information.
