Do not remove cut material or hold material to be cut when blades are moving. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury. HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS 3 • Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped. Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades. €¢ 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. During operation the cord may be hidden in shrubs and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
