● 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.
