Hedge trimmer blades are extremely sharp. Do not

CONNECTING THE POLES
See Figure 2.
Insert the plug on the intermediate pole into the socket
on the power handle and push together until fully seated.
The plug is larger on one side and will only install one
way.

on the intermediate pole and rotate clockwise to secure.
Repeat this process to attach the intermediate pole to the

NOTE:
When assembled correctly, power handle and hedge
trimer head should not be able to separate from intermediate
pole when pulled. Be sure the threaded collars are tightened
securely.

Failure to securely assemble and lock all poles together
as directed above could cause the poles to separate and
could result in serious personal injury or death.
