WARNING!
Ensure the tool is switched off
and disconnected from the power supply
before performing any of the following tasks.
WARNING!
If the 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. Failure to heed this warning
may result in serious personal injury or
possible death.
• Do not use the Trimmer for cutting stems greater
than
16mm
in diameter. Use the trimmer only for
cutting normal shrubbery found around houses and
buildings.
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the
hedge trimmer blade with light machine oil or spray
lubricant (such as WD40, CRC5.56 or RP7) after each
use. When a job lasts for a longer period of time it is
recommended that the blade rail also be treated with
spray lubricant at regular intervals during operation.

Ensure the blades do not come
into contact with any object made of hard
material that could damage the blades. Such
as fencing wire or metal plant supports.
