USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
LEVEL HEDGES - To obtain exceptionally level hedges, a piece of
string can be stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide. (Fig.
14)
CAUTION: Do not use the 18 inch trimmer for cutting stems greater
than .7". Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery found
around houses and buildings.
TRIMMING NEW GROWTH—A wide, sweeping motion, feeding the
blade teeth through the twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt
of the blade in the direction of the motion gives the best cutting.
If you drop the product, carefully inspect it for damage. If the blade is
bent or cracked, handles broken or if you see any other condition that
may affect the product's operation, it must be repaired before putting
it back into use. Call our customer service help line at 1-800-633-
1501 for assistance.
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 can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic.
Make sure the unit is detached from the power supply, then use only
mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, maintenance and adjustment should be performed by a
qualified individual using identical replacement parts only.
The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel and
with normal usage, they will not require re-sharpening.
Store the tool in a dry, clean area out of reach of children.
During extended periods of storage, ensure that the tool is protected
against corrosion and rust.

through dense growth. A slight back and forth sawing action may
ease the cutting of larger, more dense growth. If the trimmer begins
to slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you are trying to cut.
If the trimmer becomes jammed,
Disconnect trimmer from the power supply and remove the jammed
debris from the cutting blades.
you accidentally hit a wire fence, stones, glass or other hard objects,
you may put a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove this nick
as long as it doesn't interfere with the movement of the blade. If it
does interfere, make sure the unit is detached from the power supply
and use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the tool on or
adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
LUBRICATION SYSTEM FOR POLE HEDGE TRIMMER/HEDGE
TRIMMER (Fig. 16)
LUBRICATE BLADES - Stop the unit
and disconnect the power cord. Then
remove any debris on blades. Apply a
light machine oil along the edge of the
top and bottom blade supports. Make
sure handles remain clean and dry.
At the end of the season, or if the tool is not being used for longer than
a month, wipe over all metal surfaces with an oil impregnated cloth to
protect them from corrosion or spray with a fine coat of oil.
