TRIMMING A HEDGE
Use the Pole Trimmer properly. Always
wear eye protection, rubber gloves, and
substantial foot wear while using the Pole
Trimmer. Always maintain proper footing
and balance and never overreach when us-
ing Pole Trimmer. Before starting the Pole
Trimmer, hold the unit with both hands on
the grip areas. Make sure that the cutter
blade is not touching anything.
Always keep the extension cord behind the
Pole Trimmer when in use. Do not drape the
cord over the hedge where it may be cut by
the blades.
Use smooth steady sweeping motions to
trim new growth. Do not try to cut too much
at one time. This can cause the Pole Trim-
mer to slow down or get jammed, reducing
the cutting efficiency.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Disconnect Pole
Trimmer from power supply be-
fore cleaning or servicing. Severe
injury or death could occur from
fire, electrical shock, or body con-
tact with moving cutter blades.
WARNING: When cleaning
Pole Trimmer:
• Do not submerse Pole Trim-
mer in any liquids
• Do not use products that con-
tain Ammonia, Chlorine, or
abrasives
• Do not use chlorinated clean-
ing solvents, Carbon Tetrachlo-
ride, Kerosene, or Gasoline.
Use a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap
and water mixture to wipe Pole Trimmer
pole, housing, and cutter blades clean. Do
not spray or pour water directly onto Pole
Trimmer.
Once the Pole Trimmer is cleaned, apply a
light coat of oil to the cutter blades to pre-
vent rust and provide lubrication.
Figure 16 - Trimming Hedge
Do not force the Pole Trimmer through
dense growth. A slight back and forth saw-
ing action may ease the cutting of larger,
more dense growth. If the Pole Trimmer
begins to slow down, reduce the rate of
speed at which you are trying to cut.
If the Pole Trimmer becomes jammed, im-
mediately turn Pole Trimmer off. Discon-
nect Pole Trimmer from the power supply
and remove the jammed debris from the
cutter blades.
Do not try to cut branches larger than
3/4 inch in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with
an upward sweeping motion. Trim the hedges
so that the top is slightly narrower than the
bottom. To trim extremely level hedges, use
a string stretched along the length of the
hedge as a guide (See Figure 16).
