Operating Tips

•
Use the power tool for cutting in either direction in
a slow, sweeping action from side to side.
•
Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both
feet. Do not overreach.
•
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
•
Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines,
fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable
objects.
•
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object
without first inspecting it for damage. Do not use if
it is damaged.
•
Never touch blades or service unit with the power
supply connected.
•
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy
shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and
slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the
pace.
•
Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger
than 18 mm (0.71 inch) in diameter, or those
obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade.
Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to
trim large stems.
•
If blades do become jammed, stop the motor and
remove the battery before attempting to remove
the obstruction. CAUTION: The blades may
move slightly due to residual tension.
•
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your
hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the
desired height. Trim the hedge just above the
guide line of string.
•
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly
into the cutting blade.
