2.Before plugging into an electric circuit, be sure that the voltage supply is as specified on hedge trimmer.
Models 1910, 1920, 2410, 2420, 3010, 3020 are rated at 464 watts at 115 volts.
Models 1912, 1922, 2412, 2422, 3012, 3022 are rated at 390 watts at 230 volts.

4.The electricity for this hedge trimmer should be supplied through a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a tripping current of not more than 30 mA. These protective devices are also known as Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) or Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCBs).
5.Keep extension cord behind trimmer. Never drape
extension cord over hedge being trimmed. On 120V units, use 16 gauge wire extension cord up to 100 feet. Over 100 feet use 14 or heavier gauge wire or extension cord. Cords are available from your local Little Wonder dealer. The use of light gauge lamp cords or sizes lighter than those specified above will result in loss of power, possible motor failure, overheating of cord and the possibility of fire.

to cut any type of hedge or shrub; however, 1/2" thickness of cut should not exceed 1/2 inch
in diameter.
