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 posi-
tion.
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 (H)
Use a wide sweeping motion. See Fig. H. A
slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting results.
Side Cutting (J)
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at
the bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. J), taper-
ing the hedge inward at the top. This shape will
expose more of the hedge, resulting in more uni-
formed growth.
