OPERATION 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal 
fence or other hard objects while trimming. The 
blade will break and may cause serious injury. 

• 

Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly 
from a ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not 
work from anything wobbly or infirm. 

Fig.5 

Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 10 mm 
diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with 
shears down to the hedge trimming level. 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Do not cut off dead trees or similar hard objects. 
Failure to do so may damage the tool. 

Fig.6 

Hold the trimmer with both hands and pull the switch 
trigger A or B and then move it in front of your body. 

Fig.7 

As a basic operation, tilt the blades towards the 
trimming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the 
speed rate of 3 - 4 seconds per meter. 

 

Fig.8 

To cut a hedge top evenly, it helps to tie a string at the 
desired hedge height and to trim along it, using it as a 
reference line. 

Fig.9 

Attaching the chip receiver (optional accessory) on the 
tool when trimming the hedge straight can avoid cut off 
leaves’ being thrown away. 

Fig.10 

To cut a hedge side evenly, it helps to cut from the 
bottom upwards. 

Fig.11 

Trim boxwood or rhododendron from the base toward 
the top for a nice appearance and good job. 

Installing or removing chip receiver (optional 
accessory) 

 

CAUTION: 

• 

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and 
unplugged before installing or removing chip 
receiver. 

NOTE: 

• 

When replacing the chip receiver, always wear 
gloves so that hands and face does not directly 
contact the blade. Failure to do so may cause 
personal injury.
