Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated rear handle or lay it down and away from you in a safe manner. Only attempt to free the blade from the line or cord once you are certain that the line or cord is no longer electrically live. Touching a live electric cord or line, the blade or other conductive parts of the hedge trimmer while it is electrically live will result in death by electrocution or serious injury.

• Before starting the hedge trimmer, hold the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer as intended.
• Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the working pace.
• Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 3/4 inches (1.9 cm) thick, or those obviously too large to be cut by the power tool. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
• If the blades get jammed, turn off the power tool, wait for the blades to stop moving completely and disconnect it from the power supply. Afterwards, attempt to remove the obstruction.
• Always hold the hedge trimmer with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. Use slow, sweeping movements when cutting with this power tool.
• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping movements, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.

Warning: Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate the hedge trimmer with the other. Improper operation of the hedge trimmer could result in serious injury.
