Tool's
cord
When engaging the extension cord, secure it to the
tool's cord with the hook complete. Attach the hook
about 100 - 200 mm from the extension cord connector.
This will help prevent unintentional disconnection.
Waist cord hook
CAUTION:
•
Do not attach the holder of waist cord hook to
other than the extension cord. Do not attach it
in a position closer to the tool beyond the hook
complete. Failure to do so may cause an acci-
dent or personal injury.
•
Attach firmly one hook of the hook complete to
the tool's cord and the other hook of hook com-
plete to the extension cord. Working with the
tool with a sole hook only attached may cause
an accident and injury.
Using the waist cord hook helps to minimize a risk of
cutting off the extension cord unexpectedly caused by
the loose extension cord.

Tool
Attach the waist cord hook so that its hook is hung from
the waist and so that its holder let the extension cord on
the power supply plug side pass through.
When attaching the extension cord to the holder, fit the
curve (part A) of the holder to the waist and it can be
easily attached by one-touch installment.

Do not force the opening of the holder. Failure to
do so may cause deflection and damage to it.
Arm cord hook (Accessory)
CAUTION:
•
Do not attach the holder of arm cord hook to
other than the extension cord. Failure to do so
may cause an accident or personal injury.
Using the arm cord hook helps to minimize a risk of
cutting off the extension cord unexpectedly caused by
the loose extension cord.

Holder
Attach firmly the arm cord hook band placing around
your arm and pass the extension cord through the
holder. The length of the arm cord hook band is
adjustable.
NOTE:
•
Do not pass the extension cord through the
band.
•
Do not force the opening of the holder. Failure to
do so may cause deflection and damage to it.
•
Using the arm cord hook together with the waist
cord hook is more helpful.
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.
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.
Hold the trimmer with both hands and move it in front of
your body.
►
Fig.8
As a basic operation, tilt the blades towards the trim
-
ming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the
speed rate of 3 - 4 seconds per meter.

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.

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