Using a hedge cutter with an ICD

ICD implanted 2 years ago - no problems then or now. Multiple cardiac problems, including AF, all controlled well. Thinking of using a cordless hedge cutter to sort out the efforts of a slapdash gardener, but worried that the motor's vibration might set off my alarm. Anyone else had a good or bad experience doing this? Thanks.

You have to be careful with this sort of equipment. I would say it's best to read up on your ICD manufacturers website.

There is website for icd do's & don't, if I find it I'll post it for you
