Move Hedge trimmer away from cutting area
before stopping.

(See Fig. F).
WARNING: If any parts are missing,
damaged 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. DO
NOT USE WITHOUT HANDLE AND GUARD.
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 damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in
serious injury.
If the supply cord is damaged, it should be
replaced by a local approved Service Centre.
Take care not to expose this tool to rain.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING

Using a soft brush-remove debris from all air
intakes and cutting blade.

trimmer.
LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate
the cutting blades before and after each use.
Before lubricating, make sure your Hedge
trimmer is disconnected from the mains
electricity supply. Apply the oil so that it runs
between the two blades (See Fig. I).
Your trimmer should be stopped,
disconnected and oiled occasionally during
use.

Clean your Hedge trimmer thoroughly.
Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Visually inspect the Hedge trimmer for any
worn or damaged parts.
