USE
• 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 20mm thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw
to trim large stems.
• If desired, you can use a string to help you level the hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge to be.
Then stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above this guideline of string.
• If the 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 more easily using a sawing movement.
• 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 carefully lay it down, 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.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as wires, lights, wires or cords, that may
become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal injury.
• Avoid the use of solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics tend to be damaged by various types of
solvents and can be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, grease, etc.
• Use only genuine GREENCUT spare parts to maintain the machine. The use of other parts may create a hazard
or cause damage to the product.
