u When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer,
always t the blade cover. Proper handling of the hedge
trimmer will decrease the risk of personal injury from the
blades.
u When clearing jammed material or servicing the unit,
make sure all power switches are off and the battery
pack is removed or disconnected.
Unexpected actuation of the hedge trimmer while clear-
ing jammed material or servicing may result in serious
personal injury.
u Hold the hedge trimmer by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the blade may contact hidden
wiring. Blades contacting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the hedge trimmer "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
u Keep all power cords and cables away from cutting
area. Power cords or cables may be hidden in hedges or
bushes and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
u Do not use the hedge trimmer in bad weather condi-
tions, especially when there is a risk of lightning. This
decreases the risk of being struck by lightning.
@
Warning! Pole hedge trimmer safety warnings.

u Always use two hands when operating the pole hedge
trimmer. Hold the extended-reach hedge trimmer with
both hands to avoid loss of control.
