TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
EXTENSION CORD –
(Figure G)
Always keep
extension cord behind trimmer and away from the
trimming operation. Never drape it over a hedge being
trimmed. If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it at the
electrical outlet immediately, before inspecting or
repairing cord.
2.
WORKING POSITION –
Maintain proper footing and
balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles,
non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when trimming.
Hold the tool firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON.
Always hold the trimmer, as shown in
figure G
, with
one hand on the switch handle and one hand on the
bail handle. Never hold the tool by the blade guard.
3.
TRIMMING NEW GROWTH -
(Figure H)
– A wide,
sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through the
twigs is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the
blade, in the direction of motion gives the best cutting.
CAUTION:
Do not use the trimmer for cutting stems
greater than 3/4 in. (19mm). Use the trimmer only for
cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and
buildings.
