"Hi, this is Jon on behalf of Expert Village in this video clip we'll be talking about safe operating procedures. While using the trimmer you want to stay alert watch out what you are doing and most of all use common sense. Now since an electric trimmer does use an extension chord you want to be aware of where that chord is at while you are operating the trimmer. You want to make sure that you don't trip over it. To avoid accidental starting you want to make sure that you don't carry the trimmer with your finger on the trigger. Also when you are finished using the trimmer or you want to service it make sure that you unplug it. Lastly, you want to make sure that you keep your hands and feet away from the cutting area."
