TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORKING POSITION – Maintain
proper footing and balance and do not
overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid
footwear when trimming. Hold the unit
firmly in both hands and turn the unit ON.
Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the
illustrations in this manual, with one hand
on the switch handle and one hand on the
bail handle. (figure 4) Never hold the unit
by the blade guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH –
(Figure 5) A wide, sweeping motion,
feeding the blade teeth through
the twigs is most effective. A slight
downward tilt of the blade, in the
direction of motion gives the best
cutting.
CAUTION: Do not cut stems greater
than 3/4 inch (19mm). Use the trimmer
only for cutting normal shrubbery around houses and buildings.
