CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 4 - 5.
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer handles. Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate hedge trim- mer with the other. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious injury.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal injury.
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 3/8 in. thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a
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.
