2. To power ON, push and hold the safety lock button with
your thumb, while pressing the ON/OFF trigger switch
with your forenger. Once the trigger switch engages,
you can release the safety lock button and proceed with
operation (Fig. 9).
NOTE: The safety lock button reduces the risk of accidental
starting.
3. To power OFF, simply release the ON/OFF trigger switch
(Fig. 9).
mCAUTION! Do not force the blades through dense
growth. If the blades slow down, then reduce your cutting
pace. Should the blades jam, release the trigger immediately.
Do not use your ngers to free up jammed blades.
Jammed blades can release suddenly causing serious injury.
mCAUTION! Always ensure proper footing and balance
in a clean and clear work environment before switching on the
cordless hedge trimmer.
Trimming Tips
NOTE: Try to keep the cutting device angled at approximately
15° to the cutting surface (Fig. 10).
1. Shaping – A hedge should be trimmed to achieve a
trapezoidal form; it should widen toward the bottom on
both sides. Shaping a hedge in this manner improves the
penetration of light to the lower extremities. A general
guideline is to slant the hedge approximately 4 in. (10 cm)
for each 39 in. (1 m) of hedge height.
2. Cutting Sequence – First cut both sides; start at the
bottom and work towards the top. This prevents cuttings
from falling into an area that you have yet to trim.
3. Trimming the Top – Where the branches have grown
extremely long, cut back the hedge in several stages.
The shorter cuttings obtained are best suited for
composting.
4. Pruning Thick Branches – When older hedges are to be
cut a substantial amount, use pruning shears or some
other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 0.3 in.
[8 mm] in diameter) to the desired length before starting
work with the hedge trimmer.
To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme
edges of the hedge and then trim along the length of the
line.
Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with
any object made of hard material that could damage it,
such as fencing wire or metallic plant supports.
Maintenance
mWARNING! Always switch the product o and let the
product cool down before performing inspection, maintenance
and cleaning work.
1. Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times.
If possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
2. If the enclosure of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not
use solvents to clean it. Only use a moistened soft cloth.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; and never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
3. The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with light
machine oil or spray lubricant (such as WD40, CRC 5.56
or RP7) after each use. When a job lasts for a long period
of time, it is recommended that the blade rail also be
treated with spray lubricant at regular intervals during
operation.
4. Inspect the product before each use for worn and
damaged parts. Do not operate it if you nd broken and
worn parts.
