OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE OPERATING
Adjust the angle of the trimmer to suit the area you are trimming;
adjust the blade angle based on the situation. Adjust the blade as
follows:
1. Grasp the adjustment bolt (Fig. 4) and turn counterclockwise to
unscrew the bolt from the hole in the indexing ring.
OPERATING TIPS
• To trim new growth, use a wide sweeping motion, feeding the
blade teeth through the hedge or twigs. The most effective
cutting is achieved with a slight downward tilt of the blade.
.• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When
trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the
stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will
have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a
sawing movement.
• Do not try to cut stems that are larger than 7/16 inches (11 mm)
thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large
stems.
• If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level.
Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of
string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above
this guide line of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be
slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed
when shaped this way, and be more uniform.
• To trim the sides of hedges, hold the hedge trimmer at the
bottom and sweep upwards.
