A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the
battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.

• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutting blade. Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off and the
battery has been removed when clearing jammed material. Blades coast for a short
time after the tool has been turned off. A moment of inattention while operating the hedge
trimmer may result in serious personal injury.

• Kickback is a dangerous reaction that can lead to serious injury. Kickback may occur
when the moving chain contacts an object at the upper portion of the tip of the guide
bar or when the wood closes in and pinches the chain in the cut. Contact at the upper

^
portion of the tip of the guide bar can cause the chain to dig into the object and stop the chain
for an instant. The result is a lightning-fast, reverse reaction which kicks the guide bar up
and back toward the operator. If the chain is pinched along the top of the guide bar, the guide
bar can be driven rapidly back toward the operator, which can cause loss of control and may
result in serious injury. Do not rely exclusively upon the safety devices built into the product.
With a basic understanding of kickback, you can reduce or eliminate the element of surprise.
Sudden surprise contributes to accidents.
