Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a

poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious

injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS po-

sition unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and

Hedge Trimmer blades are very sharp. Touching them may lead

sible, and always wear gloves to protect hands.

hand.

to an obstruction. If this occurs, stop the engine, disconnect ig-

nition cable and remove the obstruction.
