Trimming Instructions
WORKING POSITION (FIG. 6)
Maintain proper footing and balance and do not
overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear
when trimming. Hold the unit firmly in both hands
and turn the unit on. Always hold the trimmer as
shown in Figure 6, with one hand on the switch
handle (c) and one hand on the bail handle (e).
Never hold the unit by the blade guard (d).
TRIMMING NEW GROWTH (FIG. 8)
Using a wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade
teeth through the twigs, is most effective. A slight
downward tilt of the blade in the direction of
motion gives the best cutting.
LEVEL HEDGES (FIG. 9)
To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string
can be stretched along the length of the hedge as
a guide.
SIDE TRIMMING HEDGES (FIG. 10)
Orient the trimmer as shown and begin at the bottom
and sweep up.
DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY
FROM BLADES.
WARNING: To guard against injury,
observe the following:
• READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL
BEFORE USING. SAVE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
• Check the hedge for foreign objects
such as wires or fences before each use.
• KEEP HANDS ON HANDLES. DON’T
OVERREACH.
• DO NOT USE UNDER WET
CONDITIONS.
CAUTION: BLADE MAY COAST
AFTER TURN OFF
FUEL GAUGE BATTERY PACKS (FIG. 5)
Some D
WALT battery packs include a fuel gauge
which consists of three green LED lights that
indicate the level of charge remaining in the battery
pack.
To actuate the fuel gauge, press and hold the fuel
gauge button (k). A combination of the three green
LED lights will illuminate designating the level of
charge left. When the level of charge in the battery
is below the usable limit, the fuel gauge will not
illuminate and the battery will need to be recharged.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is only an indication of the
charge left on the battery pack. It does not indicate
tool functionality and is subject to variation based
on product components, temperature and end-user
application.
