Warning: Always lubricate the cutting blade with protective spray before use and storage.
Cutting procedure
• Make sure that the work area is free of rocks, wires, debris and other hard objects. If an object cannot be removed, mark its location so that you can avoid
touching it with the blade. Objects such as wires and cords can become entangled in the cutting blade and cause injury.
• Turn on the machine and wait until it reaches full speed before cutting
• Keep your body and feet at a safe distance from the cutting head.
Warning: Never cut near electric cords or lines. If the blade gets stuck 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. Only attempt to free the blade from the line or cord once you are certain that the line or cord is no longer
electrically live. Touching a live electric cord or line, the blade or other conductive parts of the hedge trimmer while it is electrically live will
result in death by electrocution or serious injury.
Cutting tips
• Before starting the hedge trimmer, hold the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer as intended.
• 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 working
pace.
• Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 3/4 inches (1.9 cm) thick, or those obviously too large to be cut by the power tool. Use a non-powered
hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems.
• If the blades get jammed, turn off the power tool, wait for the blades to stop moving completely and disconnect it from the power supply. Afterwards,
attempt to remove the obstruction.
• Always hold the hedge trimmer with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. Use slow, sweeping movements when cutting with this
power tool.
• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping movements, 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.
Warning: Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate the hedge trimmer with the other. Improper operation of the hedge trimmer could
result in serious
injury.
Switching on the power tool
1. Remove the blade cover.
2. Connect the power tool to a power source.
3. Press the front switch and the rear trigger at the same time (Fig. 3).
Note: For safety reasons, this tool starts only when two triggers are pressed.
Note: If an extension cord is required, hook the cord to prevent tripping (Fig. 4).
Switching off the power tool
The hedge trimmer will stop once either the front or the rear switch is released.
