TO STOP YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Move Hedge trimmer away from cutting area before 
stopping.
To stop, release one of the switch levers.

or broken, do not operate your Hedge trimmer 
until all damaged parts have been replaced or repaired. 
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
5. HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Inspect the area to be cut before each use, remove 
objects which can be thrown or become entangled in 
the cutting blades. 
Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both hands and 
with the blade away from you before turning it on. 
Always keep the power cord behind the Hedge 
trimmer when in use. Do not place it over the 
hedge that you are trimming where it may be cut 
by the blade.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping 
action so that the stems are fed directly into the blade.
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before 
entering the material to be cut.
Always work going away from people and solid objects 
such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge trimmer. 
Disconnect the Hedge trimmer from the mains and 
clear the jammed debris from the cutting blades. 
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the branches directly 
into the blade cutting edges.
Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed into 
the cutting blade.
TOP CUTTING (See Fig. G)
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of 
the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the 
best cutting results.
SIDE CUTTING (See Fig. H)
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the 
bottom and cut upwards, tapering the hedge inward 
at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, 
resulting in a more uniformed growth. 
WARNING: Check extension cords before each 
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never 
use your tool with a damaged cord since touching the
