OPERATION
NOTE
Refer to your Power Pruner Operator’s Manual for correct engine
fueling, starting and stopping instructions.
WARNING DANGER
All over head electrical conductors and communications wires can
have electricity flow with high voltages. Never touch wires directly
or indirectly when pruning, otherwise serious injury or death may
result.
PRUNING TECHNIQUES
The Hedger attachment is designed for light to medium trimming of new
growth limbs and branches up to 38mm (1-1/2") in diameter. Follow
these tips for successful operation.
• Plan cut carefully. Check direction debris will fall.
• Plan retreat path from falling debris. Cut branches bounce when
striking ground.
• Inspect area for hidden electrical lines.
• Do not stand directly beneath material being cut.
• Spectators and fellow workers must be warned, and children and
animals prevented from coming nearer than 15 M (50 ft.) while the
Power Pruner is in use.
• Use a short sweeping motion to shape trees and shrubs.
• When ready to cut:
1. Accelerate to full throttle.
2. Tilt the top of the hedger slightly toward the hedge when making
an upward sweep. Tilt the bottom of the hedger slightly toward the
hedge when making a downward sweep. The hedger will cut in both
directions.
3. For heavier trimming it may be necessary to slow the sweeping
motion to ensure optimum cut.
• DO NOT use for felling or bucking.
MAINTENANCE
• Grease gear case with lithium based grease every 3 months/100 hours
or 6 months/1 year.
