Hedge Clipper blades are very sharp. Touching them may lead to severe personal injury. Avoid
touching blades whenever possible, and always wear gloves to protect hands.

carefully to avoid damage to adjacent teeth. Maintain 6 mm
(.25 in.) radius at base of each tooth.
If a power grinder is used DO NOT allow blade to over heat.
