• When trimming a hedge the engine should always be turned away from the hedge.
• The hedge trimmer should be held as close to the body as possible to get the best balance.
•Make sure that the tip
does not touch the ground.
• Do not try to force the
work, but move at a steady speed so that all the stems are cut evenly.
Changing the hedge trimmer angle
•Loosen the knob on the
angle adjuster.
• Press the cutting attach- ment against the ground or some other solid object to set the desired angle.
• Tighten the knob.
NOTE! Do not hold the cutting attachment when you adjust the angle. The blades are sharp and you could easily cut yourself.
