WARNING:
Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when the blades are

WARNING:

create a risk of serious personal injury.
Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do not
overreach. Do not operate the trimmer in a tree, on a ladder, from a rooftop, or any
unstable support. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves. Hold
the unit with both hands, with the cutting blade directed away from you.
Use with the shoulder strap for safe and comfortable operation.
Do not trim too much at a time. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down,
reducing the cutting efficiency.
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades
to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace of your work.
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 most easily by using a back-and-forth motion.
Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 1.1 in (28 mm) thick. Use a non-
powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
