HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE
TRIMMER
Note that the front switch lever can be activated
on three sides, giving you many choices for a
comfortable grip. Before cutting an area, inspect
it first and remove any foreign objects that could
become thrown or entangled in the blades. Always
hold the trimmer with both hands and with the blade
away from you before turning it on.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
action so that the stems are fed directly into the
blade. (See Fig. E1& E2)
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before
cutting. When operating, keep the cutting blades
away from people and objects such as walls, large
stones, trees, vehicles, etc.
FIGURE
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the trimmer.
Release the two Switch components (5 & 6) before
attempting to clear jammed debris from the cutting
blades.
See Fig. A
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick for the
cutting blade.
See Fig. B1,
B2, B3
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. E1). A slight
downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of
motion gives the best cutting results.
See Fig. C
SIDE CUTTING
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. E2), tapering the
hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more
of the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth.
MAINTENANCE
See Fig. D1,
D2

adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
