HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Inspect the area to be cut before each use,
remove objects which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting blades.
Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both
hands and with the blade away from you
before turning it on.
Always keep the power cord behind the
Hedge trimmer when in use. Do not place
it over the hedge that you are trimming
where it may be cut by the blade.
When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action so that the stems are fed
directly into the blade. (See Fig. E-F4)
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before entering the material to be cut.
Always work going away from people and
solid objects such as walls, large stones,
trees, vehicles etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the
Hedge trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge
trimmer from the power source and clear the
jammed debris from the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the
branches directly into the blade cutting
edges.
Do not try to cut stems that are too large to
feed into the cutting blade.
TOP CUTTING (See E)
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward
tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion
gives the best cutting results.
SIDE CUTTING (See F1, F2, F3, F4)
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin
at the bottom and cut upwards, tapering
the hedge inward at the top. This shape will
expose more of the hedge, resulting in a
more uniformed growth. (See F2&F4)
The front head can be rotated for 900 to left
or right while in use. You can rotate handle
