OPERATING POLE TRIMMER
Continued
To use the Pole Trimmer for trimming the bottoms and sides of hedges and shrubs, hold the Pole Trimmer at the positions shown in Figure 15.
TRIMMING A HEDGE
Use the Pole Trimmer properly. Always wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and substantial foot wear while using the Pole Trimmer. Always maintain proper footing and balance and never overreach when us- ing Pole Trimmer. Before starting the Pole Trimmer, hold the unit with both hands on the grip areas. Make sure that the cutter blade is not touching anything.
Always keep the extension cord behind the Pole Trimmer when in use. Do not drape the cord over the hedge where it may be cut by the blades.
Use smooth steady sweeping motions to trim new growth. Do not try to cut too much at one time. This can cause the Pole Trimmer to slow down or get jammed, reducing the cutting efficiency.
Do not force the PoleTrimmer through dense growth.A slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting of larger, more dense growth. If the Pole Trimmer begins to slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you are trying to cut.
If the Pole Trimmer becomes jammed, im- mediately turn Pole Trimmer off. Discon- nect Pole Trimmer from the power supply and remove the jammed debris from the cutter blades.
Do not try to cut branches larger than 3/4 inch in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with an upward sweeping motion.Trim the hedges so that the top is slightly narrower than the bottom.To trim extremely level hedges, use a string stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide (see Figure 17).
