OPERATION

If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to stop, and disconnect the plug from the power source before attempting to remove the obstruction.

If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge just above the guide line of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will be more uniform.

Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.

OPERATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER

WARNING:

Read the safety information for safe operation using the blade. Extreme care must be taken when using blades to ensure safe operation. Refer to Important Safety Instruc- tions and Specific Safety Rules.

Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when op- erating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit is used for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action from side to side.

Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet. Do not overreach.

Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.

Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.

Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is detected.
