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 electric shock and serious personal injury.
1. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action
so that the stems are fed directly into the blade. Do not
try to cut branches that are thicker than 0.6 in. (1.5 cm) or
those that are obviously too large to feed into the blade.
Use lopping shears, a hand saw, or a pruning saw to cut
out thick branches first. If a substantial cut is necessary,
cut a little at a time in several passes. Cut both sides of
the hedge first and then the top.
2. To perform a horizontal cut, hold the hedge trimmer with
the blade tilted 5-10 degrees to your cutting object; this
makes the operation easier and ensures a better cut
(Fig. 9).

3. To perform a vertical cut, start trimming at the bottom and
sweep up for even cutting. Swing the blades in an arc
towards the outsides of the hedge so that the cuttings are
swept on the ground (Fig. 10).

Cutting Tips
m
WARNING!
Hold the tool firmly in both hands.
Always keep your dominant hand on the switch handle and
your non-dominant hand on the front. Never hold the tool by
the blade guard. Keep unit below waist level.
• A wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through
the twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the
blade in the direction of the motion gives the best cut.
• Begin at the bottom and sweep up.
• 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.
• If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop, and remove the battery 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.
