USING THE HEDGESWEEP™ DEBRIS SWEEPER

debris sweeper (included in RHT600RL) to sweep
the cuttings off the hedge. You can attach the
HedgeSweep™ debris sweeper by sliding it onto the
rail as shown in Figure 2. The sloped end of it should
be facing the motor housing of the hedge trimmer. To
remove HedgeSweep™ just pull it towards the open end
of the blade.
If desired. You can use a string to help cut your hedge
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then stretch
a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the
hedge just above this guide line of string. See Figure
