STANCE

Stand with both feet on solid ground, with weight evenly spread between them.

Release the throttle trigger to stop the hedge trimmer.

STARTING THE HEDGE TRIMMER

Grasp the front and rear handles firmly. Pull back on trigger lock-out (1) with thumb (Fig. 15). Squeeze the throttle trigger (2) until the cutting blades move at the desired speed. The front handle switch (3) is a safety feature; the hedge trimmer will not start unless it is activated.

CONTROLLING CUTTING BLADE SPEED

The throttle trigger controls the speed at which the cutting blades oscillate. Squeeze the throttle trigger more firmly for faster cutting speed.

Use the lowest pressure required to cut the material. This helps to maximize the amount of cutting time per battery charge and reduces the number of charging operations required.
