■
For added safety, there is a sensor switch in the upper
■
handle. See Fig. 3. When operating, hold the trimmer with

10 mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the
cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw
to trim large stems.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level.
■
Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece
of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just
above
this
See Figure 4. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly
narrower at the top. See Figure 5. More of the hedge will be
exposed when shaped this way, and it will be more uniform. If
blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades
to stop and remove the battery pack before attempting to
remove the obstruction.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When
■
trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that
the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth
will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a
sawing movement.
DANGER
If 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.
WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Re-move all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or string
which can become entangled in the cutting blade and
create a risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various Types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard or
cause product damage.
CAUTION
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that may damage, weaken, or
destroy plastics.
