Release the throttle trigger to stop the
hedge trimmer.
STARTING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Grasp the front and rear handles firmly.
Squeeze the throttle trigger () until the
cutting blades move at the desired speed
(Fig. ). The hedge trimmer will not start
unless the trigger lock-out () is activated.
To activate trigger lock-out, pull back
with thumb.
CONTROLLING CUTTING BLADE
SPEED
The throttle trigger controls the speed
at which the cutting blades oscillate.
Squeeze the throttle trigger more firmly
for faster cutting speed.
Use the lowest pressure required to cut
the material. This helps to maximize
the amount of cutting time per battery
charge and reduces the number of
charging operations required.
