position.
Remove battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
USING THE ROTATING REAR HANDLE
See figure 4.
Place the hedge trimmer on a flat and even surface.
Make sure that you turned off the hedge trimmer.
Press the rotation lever (5) and begin turning the
rear handle. Release the rotation lever and turn the
handle 45 or 90 degrees to either side until it clicks
into place and the lever locks in.
To turn the handle back to center, press the rotation
lever again, turn the handle slightly, release the
rotation lever and continue turning the handle until
it locks into place.
OPERATING TIPS
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy
shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and
slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the
pace.
Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
15 mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed
into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw
or pruning saw to trim large stems.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your
hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at
this height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line
of string.
See Figure 5
. Trim the side of a hedge so
that it will be slightly narrower at the top.
See Figure
6.
More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped
this way, and it will be more uniform. If blades do
become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to
stop and remove the battery pack before attempting
to remove the obstruction.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly
into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker
stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a
sawing movement.
DANGER
If blade jams on any electrical cord or line, DO
NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS.
Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated
rear handle or lay it down and away from you in a
safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service to
the damaged line or cord before attempting to free
the blade from the line or cord. Failure to heed
this warning will result in serious personal injury or
possible death.
WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove
all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or string which
can become entangled in the cutting blade and
create a risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove
dirt, oil,grease, etc. When servicing use only identical
Greenworks Tools replacement parts. Use of any
other parts can create a hazard or cause product
damage.
CAUTION
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that may damage, weaken, or destroy
plastics.
