Caring for your Hedgetrimmer
Cleaning (J)
• USE GLOVES
1. Using a soft brush - remove debris from all air
intakes and cutting blade.
2. Wipe over surface of your hedgetrimmer with
a dry cloth.

Never use water for cleaning your
hedgetrimmer. Do not clean with chemicals,
including petrol, or solvents - some can
destroy critical plastic parts.
Lubricating the Cutting Blade
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the
cutter blades before and after use. Apply the oil so
that it runs between the two blades.

How to Use
How to Use your Hedgetrimmer
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use -
remove objects which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting blades.
2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and
stand in a secure and stable position.
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before entering the material to be cut.
4. Always work going away from people and
solid objects such as walls, large stones,
trees, vehicles etc.
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the
Hedgetrimmer. Disconnect the Hedgetrimmer
from the power source and clear jammed
debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades
and repair or replace as needed.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. See Fig. G. A
slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting results.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at
the bottom and cut upwards
(See Fig. H) ,
tapering the hedge inward at the top. This
shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting
in more uniformed growth.
