discharged condition may reduce
the life and performance of your
battery.
When no light is illuminated,
at least one battery is not fully

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE
TRIMMER
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
See Fig. F action so that the stems are fed directly into the
blade.
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 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
See Fig. G
cutting blade.
Top cutting
See Fig.
Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. E1). A slight
H1, H2
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, tapering the hedge
inward at the top. This shape will expose more of
the hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth
