Waist Hook for power cord
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Do not attach any item other than
the power cord to the holder of the waist hook.
CAUTION:
When using the waist hook, be
sure to use the power cord equipped with the tool.
Using the waist hook for power cord helps prevent
careless severing of the power cord due to the cord
being loose. Hook the hook section into clothing or belt
at waist height, and then hook the cord into the holder.

NOTE: Do not apply excessive strength to the mouth
of the holder.
NOTE: Using the waist hook together with the arm
hook is more helpful.

the power cord to the holder of the arm hook.
CAUTION:
When using the arm hook, be sure
to use the power cord equipped with the tool.
NOTICE:

the band.
Using the arm hook for power cord helps prevent care-
less severing of the power cord due to the cord being
loose. Tie the arm hook band around your arm, and
then hook the cord into the holder. The length of the arm
hook band is adjustable.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Be careful not to accidentally
contact a metal fence or other hard objects while
trimming. The blades may break and cause injury.
CAUTION:
Be careful for the shear blades
not to contact the ground. The tool may recoil and
cause injury.
CAUTION:
Overreaching with a hedge trim-
mer, particularly from a ladder, is extremely dan-
gerous. Do not work in a place where your footing is
unstable.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to cut branches thicker
than 10 mm diameter with the tool. Shear them
to your desired height using branch scissors before
using the tool.
NOTICE:
Do not cut off dead trees or similar hard
objects. Failure to do so may damage the tool.
NOTICE:
Do not trim the grass or weeds. The
blades may entangle the grass or weeds.
Always hold the tool firmly with one hand on the front
gripping part and the other hand on the rear gripping
part. Pull the switch trigger while pulling the lock-off
lever, and then move it in front of your body.

As a basic operation, tilt the blades toward the trimming
direction and move it calmly and slowly at the speed
rate of 3 to 4 seconds per meter.

To cut a hedge top evenly, it helps to tie a string at the
desired height and to trim along it, using it as a refer-
ence line.
► Fig.21
If the chip receiver is attached on the blades, it receives
cut-off leaves and alleviates collecting thrown-away
leaves.
To cut a hedge side evenly, cut from bottom to top.
► Fig.22
When trimming to make a round shape (trimming box-
wood or rhododendron, etc.), trim from the root to the
top for a beautiful finish.
