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)

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

This unit should NOT be used for large
