How to Use your Hedgetrimmer
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use - remove
objects which can be thrown or become entan-
gled in the cutting blades.
2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and
stand in a secure and stable position.
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed be-
fore entering the material to be cut.
4. Always work going away from people and solid
objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehi-
cles etc.
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedgetrim-
mer. Disconnect the Hedgetrimmer from the
power source and clear jammed debris from the
cutting blades. Inspect blades and repair or re-
place as needed.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. (L) A slight down-
ward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of
motion gives the best cutting results.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (M), tapering the hedge in-
ward at the top. This shape will expose more of the
hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
