TO START THE HEDGE TRIMMER
EN
Your hedge trimmer is equipped with two switch levers. Both switch levers need to be
pressed for the hedge trimmer to start. Depress and hold the switch lever in the front
handle and press the switch lever in the rear handle to start the hedge trimmer.
TO STOP THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Move hedge trimmer away from cutting area, release one of the switch levers to stop
the hedge trimmer.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer during
work breaks and after finishing work.
USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING:
If the 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:
If any parts are missing, damaged or broken, do not operate your
trimmer until they have been replaced. Failure to do so could result in possibly serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, always use both the front handle
and the rear handle to hold the hedge trimmer during operation.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, keep hands away from blades.
Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when the blades
are moving. Make sure that the blades have totally stopped and the battery pack is
removed before clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed
cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove 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.

 Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do
not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves. Hold
the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always
use the hedge trimmer properly.
 Keep from trimming too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and
slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
 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 of
your work.
 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 most easily by using a sawing movement.
 Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 22mm. thick. Use a non-powered
hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (see Fig. 7).
A slight downward tilt of the cutting
blades in the direction of motion gives
the best cutting results. If desired, you
can use a string to help guide you as you
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.
