Using your hedge trimmer
Safety harness
The harness is included as a
safety feature for use with the
branch cutter and the hedge
trimmer. The sling passes
over your head and rests on
your shoulder - use the sliding
adjuster to ensure the harness
fits you comfortably.
Attach the clip to the loop
on the top of the handle.
Then attach the clip to the
harnesses.
In an emergency situation,
the harness clip can be
released quickly.
Hold the trimmer away from your body using both hands and stand on a solid and
secure surface.
The double-edged blade allows you to cut with either a side-to-side or up and down motion.
When cutting, move slowly and steadily so that stems are fed directly into the blade.
Cut the sides of the hedge first and then the top. To keep the sides of the hedge flat, cutting
upwards with the growth is recommended.
WARNING: risk of electric shock. Pay attention to the position of overhead cables.
WARNING: to reduce the risk of personal injury, always wear eye protection. Personal
protective equipment such as sturdy gloves and non-slip shoes are recommended.
WARNING: to reduce risk of injury from accidental start-up of the trimmer, always ensure
that the protective blade guard is fitted when the trimmer is not in use, and when being
transported, handled or stored.
Pay attention to the hazard posed to third parties from the increased working area of the
trimmer.
