MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Remove battery pack before servicing, cleaning or
removing material from the gardening appliance.
The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel
and with normal usage, they will not require
resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a
wire fence (figure 11), stones, glass or other hard
objects, you may put a nick in the blade. There is
no need to remove this nick as long as it does not
interfere with the movement of the blade. If it does
interfere, remove the battery and use a fine toothed
file or sharpening stone to remove the nick. If you
drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage.
If the blade is bent, housing cracked, handles

TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORKING POSITION – Maintain proper
footing and balance and do not overreach.
Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear
when trimming. Hold the unit firmly in both
hands and turn the unit ON. Always hold the
trimmer, as shown in the illustrations in this
manual, with one hand on the switch handle
and one hand on the bail handle. (figure 7)
Never hold the unit by the blade guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH –
(Figure 8) A wide, sweeping motion,
feeding the blade teeth through the
twigs is most effective. A slight downward
tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion
gives the best cutting.
CAUTION: Do not cut stems greater
than 3/4 inch (19mm). Use the trimmer
only for cutting normal shrubbery around houses and buildings.
3. LEVEL HEDGES (Figure 9) – To obtain exceptionally level
hedges a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the
hedge as a guide.
