■ Your hedge trimmer is equipped with two cutting
speeds:
● Setting 1 (hi-speed) - Use this setting as the primary
mode of your hedge trimmer. At hi-speed setting,
the blade cuts at top speed, which allows quick and
precise trimming. This speed is best for the regular
maintenance of your hedges.
● Setting 2 ( hi-torque) - Use this setting to cut thick or
dense hedges. The hi-torque setting provides more
cutting power to trim larger branches. This setting is
not intended for everyday trimming.
Use the speed switch to change the cutting speed
to your desired setting.
You should not change the
cutting speed while the product is running.
WARNING
If the product is dropped, suffers heavy impact, or begins
