Hedge Trimming

Engine exhaust IS HOT, and contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a poison gas. Breathing CO can cause unconsciousness, serious injury, or death. Exhaust can cause serious burns. ALWAYS position unit so that exhaust is directed away from your face and body.

Hedge Clipper blades are very sharp. Touching them may lead to severe personal injury. Avoid touching blades whenever possible, and always wear gloves to protect hands.

1.Always grip support handle with right hand and throttle handle with left hand.

2.Hold trimmer firmly and squeeze throttle trigger to accelerate engine.

3.Tilt trimmer so cutting teeth are angled slightly toward the hedge or shrub and proceed to cut.

Never remove hands from unit when blades are moving.

The engine continues running even when the blades have stopped due to an obstruction. If this occurs, stop the engine, disconnect ignition cable and remove the obstruction.
