OPERATION
Refer to the Safety Warnings before operation.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal fence or
other hard objects while trimming. The blade will break
and may cause serious injury.
• Also, be careful for the shear blade not to contact the
ground.
• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a
ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not work from
anything wobbly or infirm. (Fig. 4)
Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 10 mm
diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with
shears down to the hedge trimming level.
CAUTION:
• Do not cut off dead trees or similar hard objects. Failure
to do so may damage the tool.
• Do not trim the grass or weeds while using hedge
shear blade. The shear blade may entangle the grass
or weeds. (Fig. 5)
Hold the trimmer with one hand, depress the lock-off
button and pull the switch trigger and then move it in front
of your body. (Fig. 6)
As a basic operation, tilt the blades towards the trimming
direction and move it calmly and slowly at the speed rate
of 3 - 4 seconds per meter. (Fig. 7)
To cut a hedge top evenly, it helps to tie a string at the
desired hedge height and to trim along it, using it as a
reference line. (Fig. 8)
Attaching the chip receiver (accessory) on the tool when
trimming the hedge straight can avoid cut off leaves' being
thrown away. (Fig. 9)
To cut a hedge side evenly, it helps to cut from the bottom
upwards. (Fig. 10)
Trim boxwood or rhododendron from the base toward the
top for a nice appearance and good job.
