3. To Start/Stop the Hedge Trimmer
Before starting the hedge trimmer
• Make sure that you have a secure and balanced
footing.
• Stand upright and hold the hedge trimmer in a
relaxed position.
• Make sure that the cutting blade (A) is not
touching the ground or any other objects.
• Hold the hedge trimmer with both hands: one
hand on the rear handle and one hand on the
front-assist handle (C).
a. To turn the hedge trimmer ON, press the lock-
off button (D) and then depress the ON/OFF
trigger switch (E).
b. To turn it off, release the ON/OFF trigger switch and allow the trimmer to come to a
complete stop.
WARNING
• Always remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer during work breaks and after
finishing work.
4. Using the Hedge Trimmer
WARNING
• If any parts are missing, damaged or broken, do not operate your trimmer until they have
been replaced. Failure to do so could result in possibly serious personal injury.
• To prevent serious personal injury, always use both the front-assist handle and the rear
handle to hold the hedge trimmer during operation. Keep hands away from blades. Do
not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when the blades are moving.
Make sure that the blades have stopped completely and the battery pack is removed before
clearing jammed material from the blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting blades or
cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as cords, lights, wire,
or string, that could become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious
personal injury.
• If the blade jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN
BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the hedge
trimmer by the insulated rear handle or lay it down and away from you in a safe manner.
Disconnect the electrical service to the damaged line or cord before attempting to free the
blade from the line or cord. Failure to heed this warning will result in serious personal injury
or possible death.
