Lubricating the Cutting Blade
NOTE: It is important to use only the
recommended standard lubricating oil (WD-
40) to avoid damage to the blade.
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. F1&F2)
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.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the trimmer. Release
the two Switch components (6&7) before attempting to
clear jammed debris from the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick for the
cutting blade.
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. F1). A slight
downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of
motion gives the best cutting results.
SIDE CUTTING
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. F2), tapering the
hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of
the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth.
