Holding the Trimmer
Before operating the hedge trimmer, stand in the operating
position and perform the following checks:
1. You are wearing all of the necessary personal protective
equipment, including protective gloves, non-slip footwear,
safety goggles, ear defenders, and close-tting clothing.
2. You are holding the unit rmly with both hands. Your right
arm is slightly bent and is holding the rear handle, and
your left arm is straight and is holding the front handle.
3. You are standing with proper footing and are holding the
hedge trimmer so that the cutting blades are always away
from your body.
mWARNING! Always keep both hands on the hedge
trimmer handles. Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate
the hedge trimmer with the other. Improper handling of the
hedge trimmer could result in serious injury.
The secondary switch on the front handle can be activated
on all three sides, together with the 180 degree rotatable rear
handle, providing comfortable grip when performing cutting
operations in dierent positions (Figs. 4A, 4B & 4C).
To rotate the rear handle, follow the instruction below:
1. Stop the machine. Wait until the unit comes to a
complete stop.
2. Press and hold the handle lock button, and rotate the rear
handle clockwise or counterclockwise as needed (Fig. 5).
3. Hold the unit as indicated above and resume working.
