Operating the Hedge Trimmer

OPERATION

If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to stop, and disconnect the plug from the power source before attempting to remove the obstruction.

If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge just above the guide line of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will be more uniform.

Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. 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 easiest by using a sawing movement.

WARNING:

Read the safety information for safe operation using the blade. Extreme care must be taken when using blades to ensure safe operation. Refer to Important Safety Instruc- tions and Specific Safety Rules.

Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when op- erating. 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.

Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet. Do not overreach.

Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.

Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.

Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is detected.
