CAUTION!
Do not force the blades through dense growth.
If the blades slow down, then reduce your cutting pace. Should
the blades jam, release the trigger immediately. Do not use your
fingers to free up jammed blades. Jammed blades can release,
suddenly causing serious injury.
m
CAUTION!
Always ensure proper footing and balance in a
clean and clear work environment before switching on the grass
shear + hedge trimmer.
NOTE: The yellow charge indicator LED light will illuminate when
the battery is running low and requires charging.
Trimming Tips
m
WARNING!
Only use the hedge trimmer blade for this
operation. Never use the telescoping pole with the hedge
trimmer for trimming hedges.
NOTE: Try to keep the cutting device angled at approximately
15° to the cutting surface (Fig. 12).

1. Shaping – A hedge should be trimmed to achieve a
trapezoidal form; it should widen toward the bottom on
both sides. Shaping a hedge in this manner improves the
penetration of light to the lower extremities. A general
guideline is to slant the hedge approximately 4 in. (10 cm) for
each 39 in. (1 m) of hedge height.
2. Cutting Sequence – First cut both sides; start at the bottom
and work towards the top. This prevents cuttings from falling
into an area that you have yet to trim.
3. Trimming the Top – Where the branches have grown
extremely long, cut back the hedge in several stages. The
shorter cuttings obtained are best suited for composting.
4. Pruning Thick Branches – When older hedges are to be
cut a substantial amount, use pruning shears or some other
device to trim thicker branches (greater than 0.3 in. [8 mm]
in diameter) to the desired length before starting work with
the hedge trimmer.
To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme
edges of the hedge and then trim along the length of the
line.
Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with any
object made of hard material that could damage it, such as
fencing wire or metallic plant supports.
Maintenance
m
WARNING!
Always switch the product off and let the
product cool down before performing inspection, maintenance
and cleaning work.
1. Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times. If
possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
2. If the enclosure of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not use
solvents to clean it. Only use a moistened soft cloth. Never
let any liquid get inside the tool; and never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
3. The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with light
machine oil or spray lubricant (such as WD40, CRC 5.56 or
RP7) after each use. When a job lasts for a long period of
time, it is recommended that the blade rail also be treated
with spray lubricant at regular intervals during operation.
4. Inspect the product before each use for worn and damaged
parts. Do not operate it if you find broken and worn parts.
Blade Maintenance
To ensure years of efficient and trouble-free operation, blade
cleaning should be performed if sap and debris have built-up, or
if you live in an area where the soil is sandy. Cleaning unusually
heavy deposits may require removal of the blades.
NOTE: All Season Power will not be held responsible for any
damage or injuries caused by repair of the trimmer by an
unauthorized person or by mishandling of the trimmer.
1. Keep the cutting blades clean and free of debris. Remove
trimmings.
