How to Use

How to Use your hedge trimmer

1.Inspect area to be cut before each use - remove ob- jects which can be thrown or become entangled in the cutting blades.

2.Always keep the hedge trimmer in front of your body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and stand in a se- cure and stable position.

3.Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before en- tering the material to be cut.

4.Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc.

5.If blade stalls, immediately stop the hedge trimmer. Disconnect the hedge trimmer from the power source and clear jammed debris from the cutting blades. In-

spect blades and repair or replace as needed.

Top Cutting

Use a wide sweeping motion. (M) A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.

Side Cutting

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards (N), tapering the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
