CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 6 - 7.
Always keep both hands
on the hedge trimmer
handles. Never hold
shrubs with one hand and
operate hedge trimmer
with the other. Failure to
heed this warning can
result in serious injury
Clear the area to be cut
before each use. Remove
all objects such as cords,
lights, wire, or loose string
which can become
entangled in the cutting
blade and create a risk of
serious personal injury.
When operating the hedge trimmer, keep the
extension cord behind the trimmer. Never
drape it over the hedge being trimmed.
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.
Do not attempt to cut stems or twig that are
larger than 3/4 in. thick, or those obviously too
large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-
powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large
stems.
If blades do become jammed, stop the
motor, allow the blades to stop, and disconnect
the plug from the power source 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. Stretch a piece of string along the
hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge
just above the 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.
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.
OPERATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER

operation using the blade.

objects.
To protect yourself from electrocution, do not
operate within 50 feet of overhead electrical
lines.
Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines,
fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable
objects.
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object
without first inspecting it for damage. Do not
use if any damage is detected.
Maintenance and cleaning

maintenance to the machine,
always unplug the machine.
_ Switch off the hedge trimmer and pull out its
power plug before you put it down and clean it.
_ For the best cutting performance at all times,
clean and lubricate the blades ate regular
intervals.
