MAINTENANCE
Do not at any time let brake
• Hold the unit with both hands with the cutting blades
directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer
properly.
• Do not trim too much at one time. This can cause the
blades to bind and slow, 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.
• Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 5/8" thick.
Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim
large branches.
• 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 sawing movement.
• Always hold the hedge trimmer with both hands when
operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit is
used for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping
action from side to side.
To secure the battery pack, make sure
the latches on the top of the battery pack
snap into place.
Charge the battery pack according to the
instructions included with your model.
