Using your Hedge Trimmer
THE SAFETY WARNINGS AT THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL
SHOULD BE OBSERVED FOR ALL ATTACHMENTS.
Hold the trimmer with both hands. Stand in a secure and stable position.
Before cutting, check the hedge for any objects such as wire fences that could damage or jam
the trimmer blade and drive mechanism.
WARNING: do not overload the hedge trimmer.
Attempting to force the trimmer to cut may damage the motor. To prevent overloading check
to see if the hedge is very thick or dense. Cut thick or dense foliage in stages with several lights
cuts as this will help reduce the load on the motor.
When cutting move steadily along the line of cut, so that the stems are fed directly into the
cutter blades. The double edge cutting blade enables cutting in either a side to side action or
an up and down motion.
To reach a level nish, fasten a piece of string along the length of the hedge cut the hedge just
above the string to give an even height. The maximum thickness of a branch that the trimmer
will cut is 15.0mm. This may be reduced with certain bush and shrub types.
