■ Using a pruning tool to cut and remove
branches exceeding the cutting width
capacity of this product of 9/16 inch before
operation.
■ Move the hedge trimmer lightly through
the cutting surface in a sweeping motion
following the shape of the hedge or shrub.

top. (Fig. 9)
■ To store hedge trimmer, remove battery
pack from unit and use the convenient
