Safety (continued)
Operating the Hedge Trimmer
ALWAYS wear eye, ear,
and hand protection while
operating this unit!
ALWAYS protect yourself from hazards
such as thorny brush and flying debris
by wearing gloves and close fitting
clothing that covers arms and legs.
Never wear shorts. Don’t wear loose
clothing or items such as jewelry that
could get caught in machinery or
underbrush. Secure long hair so it is
above shoulder level.
USE EXTREME CAUTION
when operating near fences
or electric wiring.
NEVER cut metal objects
or wire with the blade.
ALWAYS stop the engine and install
the blade cover before moving to
another work site, and maintain a firm
footing while operating or carrying the
trimmer.
ALWAYS stop the engine before
removing branches or debris from
the cutters! Never allow the cutters
to contact buildings or other hard
objects!
AVOID using or storing this unit in a wet
environment. Water on the cutters may
enter the gearcase and damage your unit.
ALWAYS keep proper footing and do
not overreach. Maintain your balance at
all times during operation.
NEVER operate this unit if the
safety guard has been removed or
damaged!
NEVER allow children to use
the unit. Avoid operating near
bystanders.
AVOID cutting large or extremely
“woody” branches. Doing so can shorten
cutter life, and may also damage the
gearcase.
ALWAYS grip support handle
with right hand and throttle
handle with left hand.
