Trimming Instructions |
|
1. WORKING POSITION - Maintain proper footing and balance | |
and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, | |
and gloves when trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands | |
and turn the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the | |
illustrations in this manual, with one hand on the switch handle | |
and one hand on the pole. Never hold the tool by the hand guard. | |
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - A wide, sweeping motion, feeding | |
the blade teeth through the twigs is most effective. A slight | |
downward tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion gives the | |
best cutting. Do not cut stems greater than 3/8” (10mm). Use | |
the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery around houses | |
and buildings. |
|
3. LEVEL HEDGES - To obtain exceptionally level hedges | |
a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge | |
as a guide. |
