ATTACHING EXTENSION CORD TO TRIMMER
Z_ WARNING: BE SURE HEDGE TRIMMER IS NOT LOCKED ON.
An extension cord retainer is built into the switch handle that prevents the tool from
coming unplugged. To use this feature, simply double the extension cord about 8 inches
(203 mm) from the end, and insert it into the slot in the bottom of the handle area. Hook
the loop formed by doubling the cord over the tab, as shown in figure 8. Gently tug on
the cord to insure that it is firmly retained in the trimmer's handle. Plug the receptacle
end of the extension cord into the plug blades in the trimmer (figure 8).

TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. EXTENSION CORD - (Figures 8 and 10) Always keep extension cord behind
trimmer and away from the trimming operation. Never drape it over a hedge being
trimmed. If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it at the electrical outlet
immediately, before inspecting or repairing cord.
2. WORKING POSITION - ( Figure 10) Maintain proper footing and balance and do
not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when
trimming. Hold the toot firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON. Always hold the
trimmer, with one hand on the switch handle and one hand on the bait handle.
Never hold the toot by the blade guard.
3. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - (Figure 11) -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 motion gives the best cutting.
