8. HOw TO uSE yOuR HEDGE TRIMMER
Note that the Front Switch Lever (5) can be
activated on three sides, giving you many
choices for a comfortable grip. Before cutting
an area, inspect it first and remove any
foreign objects that could become thrown
or entangled in the blades. Always hold the
trimmer with both hands and with the blade
away from you before turning it on.
When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action so that the stems are fed
directly into the blade. (See Fig. H& I)
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before cutting. When operating, keep the
cutting blades away from people and objects
such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the
trimmer. Release the two Switch Levers (5 &
2) before attempting to clear jammed debris
from the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick
for the cutting blade.
TOP CuTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. H). A
slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting results.
SIDE CuTTING
When trimming the sides of the hedge,
begin at the bottom and cut upwards (See
Fig. I), tapering the hedge inward at the top.
This shape will expose more of the hedge,
resulting in a more uniformed growth.
