Operation

Loosen the locking lever to adjust the hedge trimmer to the
desired angle (Figures 2, 3, 4). Then tighten the locking
lever.
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 cut stems or twigs larger than 15 mm thick, or too
large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered
hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action,
so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed
easiest by using a sawing movement.

Storage

When transporting or storing the hedge trimmer, always
remove the battery, and install the blade transport guard.
Proper handling of the hedge trimmer will reduce the risk of
personal injury from the cutter blades.
