56V LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER22
Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do
not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves. Hold
the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always
use the hedge trimmer properly.
Keep from trimming too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and
slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the
blades to bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace of
your work.
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 most easily by using a sawing movement.
Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4 in. thick. Use a non-powered
hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
TOP CUTTING
Use a wide sweeping motion (see Fig. 7).
A slight downward tilt of the cutting
blades in the direction of motion gives
the best cutting results. If desired, you
can use a string to help guide you as you
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 hedge just above this guide line.
