LITTLE
WONDER
TRImmER
1. wARNING! Read and follow all safety instructions
in the manual before attempting to use this trimmer.
2. Only after you are familiar with your hedge trimmer
and all of its controls and the functions should you
start the engine.
3. Once the engine is started grasp the handles securely,
the left hand should grasp the rear handle and the
right hand should grasp the front side handle on single
edge trimmers.
4. Squeeze the throttle to accelerate the engine and
engage the blades.
5. Tilt the trimmer so the cutting teeth are angled slightly
toward the hedge or shrub and proceed to cut. Use
overlapping sweeping motions away from your body
to achieve a safe and even cut.
6. This unit is designed to cut any type of hedge or
shrub; however,
Thickness of cut
should not exceed
1 inch in diameter.
Misuse of this Hedge Trimmer will void the warranty.
For example: cutting hedges or shrubs over 1" in diam-
eter or foreign objects such as wires, rocks, or fences.
Before trimming check work area for foreign objects
such as wires, cords, glass, fences, or rocks. Be sure
to remove any foreign objects from the work area. Fail-
ure to properly maintain this hedge trimmer will void
the warranty.

LUBRICATION

1. A few drops of a light #10 oil should be placed on the
back edge of each blade guard at each adjusting screw
approximately after every 4 hours of normal operation.
2. To obtain trouble free trimming, it is necessary to keep
the blades lubricated and clean. The gum that collects
and builds up on the blades can be removed with a
50-50 mixture of kerosene and #10 oil. As petroleum
products can shorten the life of some plastics it is
necessary to remove excess oil-kerosene mixture
from the plastic parts.
3. When blades are replaced, or any other time that
the bottom cover plate is removed, the grease level
should be checked for proper amount (approximately
3/4 full in the area of the gears) and a new gasket
(P/N 319) should be used to insure proper seating
of the cover plate. Grease level should be checked
and adjusted after every 50 hours of use. Use only
Lithium EP #2moly grease in the gear housing.

ENGINE

1. Air Filter
