OPERATION
WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove
all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or string
which can become entangled in the cutting blade
and create a risk of serious personal injury.
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 try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
■
10 mm 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 desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
■
level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this
height. Trim the hedge just above this line of string
(Fig. 3). Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be
slightly narrower at the top (Fig. 4). More of the hedge
will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will be
more uniform.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or 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.

LUBRICATING BLADE (Fig. 5)
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate
■
the hedge trimmer attachment blade before and after
each use Before lubricating, be sure the switch is in
the OFF position on the powerhead. Apply light
machine oil along the edge of the top of strap.
Occasionally, you should oil your hedge trimmer
■
attachment during use. Before oiling, shut off
powerhead, then oil.You then can resume trimming.
Do not oil while hedge trimmer attachment is running.
ATTACHING THE STORAGE HANGER (Fig. 6)
There are two ways to hang your attachment for storage.
To use the hanger cap (11), push in the button (9)
■
and place the hanger cap over end of the attachment
shaft. Slightly rotate the cap from side to side until the
button locks into place.
The secondary hole (10) in the attachment shaft can
■
be used for hanging purposes as well.
