Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
3/8 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.
WARNING:
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. Fail-
ure to follow these steps could result in accidental starting
of the hedge trimmer and cause serious personal injury.
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.
OPERATION
OPERATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING:
Read the safety information for safe operation using the
blade. Extreme care must be taken when using blades to
ensure safe operation. Refer to Important Safety Instruc-
tions and Specific Safety Rules.
Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when op-
erating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit is used
for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action
from side to side.
Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet.
Do not overreach.
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing,
posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first
inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is
detected.
