,&
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the hedge
trimmer handles. Never hold shrubs with one hand
and operate hedge trimmer with the other. One
handed or improper handling of hedge trimmer can
result in serious injury.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each
use. Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire,
or loose string which can become entangled in the
cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal
injury
[] When operating the hedge trimmer, keep the extension
cord behind the trimmer. Never drape it over the hedge
being trimmed.
[] 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
1/2 in. thick 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 by releasing
the switch trigger, allow the blades to stop, and disconnect
the plug from the power source before attempting
to
remove the obstruction.
[] 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. Trim
the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at
the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped
this way, and it will be more uniform.
[] 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.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed
easiest by using a sawing movement.
