OPERATING TIPS

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 guide line of string.
See Figure 4. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be
slightly narrower at the top. See Figure 5. More of the
hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will
be more uniform. If blades do become jammed, stop the
motor, allow the blades to stop and remove the battery
pack before attempting to remove the obstruction.
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.
DANGER
If blade jams on any electrical cord or line,
DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS.
Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated
rear handle or lay it down and away from you in a
safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service
to the damaged line or cord before attempting to
free the blade from the line or cord. Failure to heed
this warning will result in serious personal injury or
possible death.
WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Re-move 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.
WARNING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various Types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.
When servicing use only identical Ryobi replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard or
cause product damage.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils,

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

USING THE HEDGESWEEP™ DEBRIS SWEEPER
Make sure that you disconnect the hedge trimmer from
the power supply before attaching or removing the
HedgeSweep™ debris sweeper.
To avoid clippings and other debris to fall back into the
hedge while cutting you can use the HedgeSweep™
debris sweeper to sweep the cuttings off the hedge. You
can attach the HedgeSweep™ debris sweeper by sliding
it onto the rail as shown in Figure 9. The sloped end of it
should be facing the motor housing of the hedge trimmer.
To remove HedgeSweep™ just pull it towards the open
end of the blade.
BLADE MAINTENANCE – HEDGE TRIMMER
Battery units do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. To prevent serious personal injury, always
remove the battery and take extra precautions and
care when performing maintenance, service or for
changing the cutting blade.
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery
pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the unit.
