HOLDING THE HEDGE TRIMMER (Fig. D1-D5)
The unit has both a front and rear handle. With the blade
directed away from you, hold the unit by both handles.
The rear handle can be set in five positions
(0°/±45°/±90°) by raising up the handle-release lever
(Fig. D1 to Fig.D5), giving you many choices for a
comfortable grip when performing cutting operations.
WARNING:
Do not adjust the handle while the tool is
running. Stop the tool and remove the battery first.
STARTING/STOPPING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Before operating, remove the blade guard and hold the
trimmer with both hands, one hand on the rear handle
and the other on the front handle. Then check for stable
footing, upright standing and a proper cutting distance.
To Start
1. Install the battery pack.
2. Squeeze and hold the front trigger with one hand.
3. Press and hold the lock-off button with the thumb of
your other hand, then squeeze the rear trigger with
your fingers to start the hedge trimmer. Release the

56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER— HT2600E

WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack from
the hedge trimmer during work breaks and after finishing
work.
USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
DANGER:
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.
WARNING:
Avoid trimming too much at one time or
through the heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to
bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
NOTICE:
The trimmer shall be used to cut stems less
than (30.5mm) thick.
NOTICE:
For new growth, a wide sweeping is suitable
for the stems fed directly into the cutting blade. For older
growth, a sawing movement is good for trimming the
thicker stems. A non-powered hand saw or pruning saw is
suggested for trimming the large stems first.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the
cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best
cutting results. For better cutting effect, you might as well
use the string to guide the hedge level as Fig. E shown.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards as Fig. F shown. Trim the side of
a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. This
shape will expose more of the hedge to sunlight, resulting
in a more uniform growth.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
