•
STOP using the unit immediately if the power cords,
plugs, receptacles become hot to the touch, if you
notice a burning smell, or if you see smoke coming
from the power cords or hedge clipper. Turn off the
power to the power outlet immediately, and carefully
disconnect the power cord. Allow the unit to cool
before handling, and have the unit inspected and
serviced before using it again.
•
NEVER operate electric hedge clippers around
gasoline, flammable paints, stains, solvents,
thinners, and adhesives, or any type of explosive
gas or vapor. Electric motors emit sparks which
can ignite flammables and vapors, causing serious
injuries and property damage from explosion and
fire.
•
NEVER plug unit in without first checking ON-OFF
switch to make sure unit is in OFF position. Unin-
tentional starting of unit can result in serious injury.
•
NEVER tape or tie the ON-OFF switch in the ON
position to lock the unit ON. Using a unit with switch
locked in the ON position can result in serious injury
to operator and others.
•
NEVER leave a plugged-in unit unattended. A child
or other inexperienced person could pick up the unit
and seriously injure themselves or someone else.
