How to Use your Hedgetrimmer
1.Inspect area to be cut before each use -
remove objects which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting blades.
2.Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and
stand in a secure and stable position.
3.Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before entering the material to be cut.
4.Always work going away from people and solid
objects such as walls, large stones, trees,
vehicles etc.
5.If blade stalls, immediately stop the
Hedgetrimmer. Disconnect the Hedgetrimmer
from the power source and clear jammed
debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades
and repair or replace as needed.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. (M) Aslight down-
ward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of
motion gives the best cutting results.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (N), tapering the hedge
inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the
hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
