ASSEMBLING THE TOOL
See Figure 3.
Before using the pole hedge trimmer, a one-time assembly
is required.
The telescoping pole and trimmer head come unassembled.
Remove from packaging and extend telescoping pole to
its longest operating position as shown in Figure 6 in the
Operation section of this manual.
Unscrew the threaded collar from trimmer head base and
pull back over the cord to the extended telescoping pole
as shown.
Insert the telescoping pole into the trimmer head threaded
base until the lock holes click into place. The tubes are
egg-shaped and will only install one way. The threaded
base will spread open during assembly.
