Application Range
The pole hedge trimmer is designed exclusively
for cutting and trimming hedges, bushes, and
shrubs around your home. Any other usage not
specified in this manual may damage the device
and pose serious risks to users.
This electric hedge trimmer is intended for
adult use only. Adolescents over 16 years may
operate it only under adult supervision. The
trimmer should not be used in rain or humid
conditions.
Users are responsible for any accidents or
damage to themselves, others, or property. The
manufacturer is not liable for damages resulting
from misuse or improper operation.
Operation
WARNING: Do not let familiarity with this
product lead to carelessness. A moment of
inattention can cause serious injury.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or
glasses with side shields when operating power
tools. Failure to do so may result in serious eye
injuries from flying objects.
WARNING: Only use attachments or
accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
Unapproved accessories can cause personal
injury.
Cutting Tips
WARNING:
• Always use both hands on the hedge
trimmer. Never hold shrubs with one hand
while operating the trimmer.
• Clear the cutting area of objects that could
entangle the blade.
When using the hedge trimmer, keep the
extension cord behind it—never drape it over
the hedge.
Do not force the trimmer through thick shrubbery;
if blades slow down, reduce your pace. Avoid
cutting stems thicker than 3/4 inch—use a hand
saw for larger stems.
If blades jam, stop the motor, let the blades
stop, and disconnect the plug before removing
the obstruction.
For a level hedge, stretch a string at your desired
height and trim just above it. Shape the hedge
so it’s slightly narrower at the top for a uniform
look.
Wear gloves when handling thorny growth.
Use a sweeping motion for new growth, and a
sawing motion for thicker, older stems.

Read the safety information for safe operation
when using the blade. Extreme care is essential
to ensure safe operation. Refer to the Important
Safety Instructions and Specific Safety Rules.
• Hold the Unit Firmly: Always use both
hands—keep your left hand on the telescopic
pole and your right hand on the rear handle.
The unit is designed for cutting in either
direction with a slow, sweeping motion from
side to side.
• Maintain Stability: Stand with your feet
firmly planted for balance. Inspect the area
for hidden objects before starting.
• Electrocution Prevention: Do not operate
within 50 feet of overhead electrical lines.
• Avoid Hazards: Never use the hedge
trimmer near power lines, fencing, posts,
buildings, or other immovable objects.
• Inspect After Impact: If the blade strikes
a hard object, inspect it for damage before
further use. Do not operate if any damage is
detected.
Preparation for Cutting
• Wear Protective Gear: Use non-slip gloves
for a secure grip and protection.
• Maintain a Proper Grip: Ensure your right
hand is firmly gripping the rear handle while
your left hand secures the pole shaft. Your
body should be to the left of the chain line;
never cross your body or arm over the chain
line.
• Avoid Direct Positioning: Never stand
directly under the limb being cut.
• Check Collars: Ensure collars are fully
tightened before operating the equipment
and check their tightness periodically during
use to avoid serious injury.
Limbing and Pruning
This unit is designed for trimming small branches
and limbs up to 16 mm in diameter. For optimal
results, observe the following precautions:
• Plan the Cut: Be aware of the branch’s
fall direction, as it may not always fall as
expected. Never stand directly under the
branch being cut.
• Proper Cutting Angle: Position the unit at
an angle of 60 degrees or less. A higher
angle increases the difficulty of making the
initial cut from the underside of the limb.
• Remove Long Branches Gradually: Cut
lower branches first to give upper branches
more room to fall.
• Work Slowly and Steadily: Keep both
hands on the saw for a firm grip, and
maintain secure footing and balance.
• Safety Distance: Keep the tree between
you and the chain while cutting. Always cut
from the side of the tree opposite the branch
being cut. Do not cut from a ladder—this is
extremely dangerous and should be left to
professionals.
• Flush Cuts: Avoid making flush cuts next
to the main limb or trunk until you have
removed the limb further out to reduce
weight. Following proper cutting procedures
helps prevent stripping the bark from the
main limb.
• Limit Use: Do not use the pole chain saw for
felling or bucking. To prevent electrocution,
maintain at least 15 meters away from
overhead electrical lines, and keep
bystanders at least 15 meters away.

Maintenance and Servicing
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Using any other parts may
create hazards or cause product damage.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles
or glasses with side shields during operation
or when blowing dust. If working in dusty
conditions, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING: Before inspecting, cleaning, or
servicing the unit, stop the motor, wait for all
moving parts to cease, and disconnect from the
power supply. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in serious personal injury or property
damage.
General Maintenance
Cleaning Precautions: Avoid using solvents
on plastic parts, as they can cause damage.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, and
grease.
WARNING:
• Never allow brake fluids, gasoline, or other
petroleum-based products to contact plastic
parts. Chemicals can weaken or destroy
plastic, leading to serious personal injury.
• All other maintenance tasks, beyond the
maintenance instructions in the manual,
should be performed by qualified personnel.
Storing the Product
• Clean the Unit: Remove all foreign materials
from the product. Store the unit indoors in a
dry, well-ventilated area that is out of reach
of children. Keep it away from corrosive
agents like garden chemicals and de-icing
salts.
• Use the blade cover: Always attach the
scabbard to the saw bar when transporting
or storing the pole hedge trimmer. Carefully
slide the cover over the blade, holding it at
one end and in the center, to avoid the sharp
blade.
NOTE: The blade is very sharp. Always wear
protective gloves when handling the blade.
