hedge trimmer handles. Never hold shrubs with
one hand and operate the hedge trimmer with the
other. Failure to heed this warning may result in
serious injury.
WARNING:
Always remove the battery pack
from the hedge trimmer during work breaks and
after nishing work.
WARNING:
If the blade jams on any electri-
cal cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT
CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY
DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the hedge
trimmer by the insulated rear handle or lay it
down and away from you in a safe manner.

handle. With the blade directed away from you,
hold the unit by both handles.
b. The switch lever in the front handle can be acti-
vated on any of the three sides, giving you many
choices for a comfortable grip when performing
cutting operations.
a. Install the battery pack.
b. Grasp the front and rear handles rmly, and trig-
ger the switch on the front handle.

START / STOP THE HEDGE
TRIMMER
TIPS FOR OPERATING HEDGE
TRIMMER
a. Make sure you have a secure and balance foot-
ing. Stand upright and hold the hedge trimmer in
a relaxed position.
b. Remove the blade guard.
c. Make sure the cutting blade is not touching the
ground or any other objects.
d. Hold the unit with both hands: one hand on the
rear handle and one hand on the front handle.
a. Move the hedge trimmer away from cutting area,
and then release the trigger switch to stop the
hedge trimmer.
12
a. Before starting the hedge trimmer maintain
proper footing and balance and do not overreach.
Wear safety goggles,non-skid footwear and
rubber gloves. Hold the unit with both hands with
the cutting blades directed away from you. Always
use the hedge trimmer properly.
b. Keep from trimming too much at one time. This
can cause the blades to bind and slow, reducing
the cutting eciency.
c. 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 of your work.
d. When trimming new growth,use a wide sweep-
ing action, so that the stems are fed directly into
the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker
stems and will be trimmed most easily by using a
sawing movement.
e. Always cut stems or twigs that are less than
0.625” thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
a. Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air
intakes and cutting blade.
b. To remove pitch and other sticky residue spray
the blades with resin solvent. Run the motor
briey so that the solvent is event distributed.
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward
tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion
gives the best cutting results. If desired, you
can use a string to help guide you as you 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.
When trimming the sides of the hedge begin at
the bottom and cut upwards. Trim the side of a
hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the
top. This shape will expose more of the hedge,
resulting in a more uniform growth.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal
injury, keep hands away from blades. Do not
attempt to remove cut material or hold ma-
terial to be cut when the blades are moving.
Make sure that the blades are moving. Make
sure that the blades have totally stopped and
the battery pack is removed before clearing
jammed material from blades. Do not grasp the
exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when
picking up or holding the unit.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before
each use. Remove all objects, such as cords,
lights, wire, or string which can become entangled
in the cutting blade and create a risk of serious
personal injury.
