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 Operator Presence Switch and
Throttle Trigger 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 cutting blade.

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt
of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives
the best cutting results.

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
