How to Use
How to Use your Hedgetrimmer
1.Inspect area to be cut before each use - re- move objects which can be thrown or be- come entangled in the cutting blades.
2.Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and stand in a secure and stable position.
3.Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material to be cut.
4.Always work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc.
5.If blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedgetrim-
mer and clear jammed debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades and repair or replace as needed.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. (H) A slight down- ward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best cutting results.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards (J), tapering the hedge in- ward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
