attempting to free the blade from the line or cord. Contact with the blade, other
conductive parts of the hedge trimmer, or live electric cords or lines will result in
death by electrocution or serious injury.
WARNING: Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects
such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which can become entangled in the
cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal injury.
Before starting the hedge trimmer, hold the unit with both hands with the cutting
blades directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
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 3/4 in. thick, or those
obviously too large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to stop and
remove the battery pack before attempting to remove the obstruction.
If desired, you can use a string to help 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 of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that
it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when
shaped this way, and it will be more uniform.
Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on
the handles. The unit is used for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping
action from side to side.
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 easiest by using a sawing movement.
