Top cutting
Use a wide sweeping
motion. A slight
downward tilt of the
cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives
the best cutting results.
Side cutting
When trimming the sides of the
hedge, begin at the bottom and
cut upwards. Trim the side of a
hedge so that it will be slightly
narrower at the top. This shape
will expose more of the hedge,
resulting in a more uniform
growth.
Note:
Do not operate your
hedge trimmer with dull or damaged cutting blades. This may cause
overload and will give unsatisfactory cutting results.

Cleaning and Storage
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer
blade with a light machine oil.
• Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
• Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air intakes
and the cutting blade.
• To remove sap and other sticky residue, spray the blades
with a resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so that the solvent is
evenly distributed then wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
• Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Avoid using solvents
when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
• If the trimmer vibrates abnormally, stop motor immediately. Abnormal
vibration usually indicates a mechanical problem continued operation
could lead to injury or damage.
• Always place the blade cover on the blade before storing or
transporting the hedge trimmer. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth
of the blade.
• Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is inaccessible to
children.
• Keep air intake clean and air vents free of debris to avoid overheating
the motor.
