TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. EXTENSION CORD – (Figure

behind trimmer and away from the
trimming operation. Never drape
it over a hedge being trimmed.
If you cut or damage the cord,
unplug it at the electrical outlet
immediately, before inspecting or
repairing cord.
2. WORKING POSITION – Maintain
proper footing and balance and
do not overreach. Wear safety
goggles, non-skid footwear and
rubber gloves when trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands
and turn the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in
figure E, with one hand on the switch handle and one hand on
the auxiliary handle. Never hold the tool by the blade guard.
3. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - (Figure
F) – 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 use trimmer for cutting stems greater than
5/8 in. (16mm). Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery
found around houses and buildings.
