TRIMMING A HEDGE

Use the Pole Trimmer properly. Always
wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and
substantial foot wear while using the Pole
Trimmer. Always maintain proper footing
and balance and never overreach when us-
ing Pole Trimmer. Before starting the Pole
Trimmer, hold the unit with both hands on
the grip areas. Make sure that the cutter blade
is not touching anything.
Always keep the extension cord behind the
Pole Trimmer when in use. Do not drape
the cord over the hedge where it may be
cut by the blades.
Use smooth steady sweeping motions to trim
new growth. Do not try to cut too much at
one time. This can cause the Pole Trimmer
to slow down or get jammed, reducing the
cutting efficiency.

OWNER'S MANUAL
Do not force the PoleTrimmer through dense
growth.A slight back and forth sawing action
may ease the cutting of larger, more dense
growth. If the Pole Trimmer begins to slow
down, reduce the rate of speed at which you
are trying to cut.
If the Pole Trimmer becomes jammed, im-
mediately turn Pole Trimmer off. Discon-
nect Pole Trimmer from the power supply
and remove the jammed debris from the
cutter blades.
Do not try to cut branches larger than
3/4 inch in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with
an upward sweeping motion.Trim the hedges
so that the top is slightly narrower than the
bottom.To trim extremely level hedges, use a
string stretched along the length of the hedge
as a guide (see Figure 17).
