OPERATInG THE HEDGE
TRIMMER
REAR HANDLE EXTENSION
The rear handle of the Hedge trimmer can be
extended to increase the reach of your hedge
trimmer. To operate this feature you need to
press and hold the extension button (5) with
your thumb and pull the rear handle (1) away
from the main housing. You can choose from
4 preset positions for the rear handle (See Fig.
H).
ADJUSTING THE FRONT HANDLE
POSITION
Press and hold the two buttons (6) and rotate
the front handle to the most comfortable
angle. The front handle will be locked after you
release the buttons. You can choose from 4
preset positions for the front handle (See Fig.
F).
Caution: Ensure you support the weight of
the hedge trimmer before you adjust the front
handle.
HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
For normal horizontal or vertical (side) cutting
it is recommended to not extend the rear
handle and to use the front handle in the two
most forward positions.
When you require a longer reach you must
extend the rear handle and use the front
handle in the two most rear positions. This will
increase your reach and maintain a balanced
control (See Fig. H).
The front handle has a switch lever which can
be activated on three sides. If your hand grip
is on the top or either side of the front handle
you can activate the switch whilst maintaining
the most comfortable hand grip position.
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
Hedge trimmer
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.
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 mains 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
Use a wide sweeping motion (See I). 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. J),
tapering the hedge inward at the top. This
shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting
in a more uniformed growth.
