Extending Your Reach with the Rotating Handle

You can extend your reach when trimming the tops of bushes by rotating the handle to one of the 90 degree lock positions. Now instead of having to reach one hand all the way over the top of the hedge trimmer, you are simply holding it at a side position. (see figure 12)

Figure 12

Of course, the hedge trimmer can be used as a conventional hedge trimmer just by leaving its handle locked in the upright position.

TRIMMING TECHNIQUES

Maintain proper balance at all times.

Figure 13

The trimmer works best with dry hedges and bushes, but it can be used safely with wet growth due to the tow voltage design.

and will get the greatest amount of trimming per charge.

This unit should NOT be used for large

trees and hedges with limbs in excess of 1/2 of an inch.

Watch out for foreign objects. Avoid trimming near wiring or other objects

that could jam the blades or cause a hazardous situation.

CAUTION: If the blades become jammed or stalled on a branch, stick, or foreign object, release the trigger immediately. Failure to stop the unit when the blades are jammed will cause excessive battery drainage, shorten the motor life, and trip the circuit breaker

After the blades have completely stopped moving, carefully remove the obstruction

CAUTION: To prevent injury, keep hands away from trigger during
