TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. EXTENSION CORD – (Figures 4 and 6) Always keep extension cord behind
trimmer and away from the trimming operation. Never drape it over a hedge being
trimmed. If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it at the electrical outlet
immediately, before inspecting or repairing cord.
2. WORKING POSITION – (Figure 6) Maintain proper footing and balance and do not
overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when
trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON. Always hold the
trimmer, with one hand on the switch handle and one hand on the bail handle.
Never hold the tool by the blade guard.
3. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - (Figure 7) – 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 use the trimmer for cutting stems greater than its capacity.

MAINTENANCE
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, 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, unplug unit and while wearing proper eye protection use a fine toothed file or
sharpening stone to remove the nick.
