PREPARING FOR OPERATION
For ease of operation, your hedge trimmer has a loop
handle. For ease of operation and best balance of the
unit. we recommend that you use the loop handle on the
hedge trimmer attachment rather than the assist handle
on the powerhead (Fig. 4).

OPERATING TIPS
NOTE: Do not operate unit with the hedge trimmer
attachment at full engine speed. Best
performance occurs at 1/2 to 3/4 speed.
1.
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 3/8 inch thick, or those obviously too large to
feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand
saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
2.
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 hedgejust above this guide line of string (Fig.
5). Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly
narrower at the top (Fig. 6). More of the hedge will be
exposed when shaped this way, and be more uniform.
