ADJUSTING TELESCOPIC POLE
See Figure 5.
Rotate the threaded collar counterclockwise to loosen.

 Push the poles towards each other to shorten the pole
or pull away from each other to lengthen the pole.
NOTE: Extend the telescopic pole only to the length
required to reach the hedges being trimmed. Do not
extend the handle above waist height.
 When the desired length is achieved, rotate the
threaded collar clockwise to secure.
NOTE: Adjust hand placement on the telescopic pole of the
pole hedge trimmer to keep proper balance. Do not attempt
to use the pole hedge trimmer at a length which does not
allow you to achieve proper footing and balance at all times.

CUTTING TIPS

See Figures 6 - 7.
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer
handles. Never hold shrubs with one hand and
operate hedge trimmer with the other. Failure to
heed this warning 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 shrub-
bery. 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 thicker
than 3/4 in., 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, 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 to 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.
