your hedge trimmer until all damaged
parts have been replaced or repaired.
Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury. DO NOT USE WITHOUT
HANDLE AND GUARD
8. HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Note that the Front Switch Lever (5) can be
activated on three sides, giving you many
choices for a comfortable grip. Before cutting
an area, inspect it first and remove any
foreign objects that could become thrown
or entangled in the blades. Always hold the
trimmer with both hands and with the blade
away from you before turning it on.
When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action so that the stems are fed
directly into the blade. (See Fig. I&J)
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before cutting. When operating, keep the
cutting blades away from people and objects
such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the
trimmer. Release the two Switch Levers (5 &
2) before attempting to clear jammed debris
10
from the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick
for the cutting blade.
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. I). A
slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in
the direction of motion gives the best cutting
results.
SIDE CUTTING
When trimming the sides of the hedge,
begin at the bottom and cut upwards (See
Fig. J), tapering the hedge inward at the top.
This shape will expose more of the hedge,
resulting in a more uniformed growth.
9. CLEANING
REMOVE THE BATTERY PACK (3). Use a soft
brush to remove debris from all air intakes
and cutting blade.
Wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
WARNING: Never use water for
cleaning your trimmer. Do not clean with
chemicals, including petrol, or solvents as this
Cordless Hedge Trimmer
may damage your trimmer.
LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate
the cutting blades before and after each use.
Before lubricating, make sure the battery is
removed from the trimmer. Apply oil between
the two blades periodically (See Fig. K ).
AT THE END OF THE CUTTING SEASON
Clean your trimmer thoroughly.
Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Visually inspect the trimmer for any worn or
damaged parts.
TO STORE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
The trimmer and the blade sheath are
provided with 2 hanging slots for storing the
trimmer on the wall (See Fig. L). Ensure the
blade sheath is fitted before storage.
Store in a dry place where your trimmer can
be protected from damage.
MAINTENANCE
Remove battery from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool
in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots
clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
