Operating Tips
•
This unit is used for cutting in either direction in a slow,
sweeping action from side to side.
•
Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet. Do
not overreach.
•
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
•
Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing,
posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
•
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first
inspecting it for damage. Do not use if you detect any
damage.
•
Never touch the blades or service this appliance with the
power supply connected.
•
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 pace.
•
Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 16
mm (5/8 inch), or those obviously too large to feed into the
cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw
to trim large stems.
•
If blades become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades
to stop, and remove the battery before attempting to remove
the obstruction.
•
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level.
Decide how high you want the hedge. Stretch a piece of
string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge
just above the guide line of string.
•
Trim the side of a hedge so that it is slightly narrower at the
top. You expose more of the hedge when you shape it this
way, and the hedge will appear more uniform.
•
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When
trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the
stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth
will have thicker stems and most easily trimmed by using a
sawing movement.
Maintenance
Oiling the Trimmer Blade
Note:
The trimmer blade should be oiled before and after
each use.
1.
Stop the motor and remove the battery.
2.
Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer,
using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
Note:
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. Certain aromatic oils such as
pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene can
damage plastic parts.
3.
Lay the hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light weight
machine oil along the edge of the top blade. If you will be
using the hedge trimmer for an extended period of time, it is
advisable to oil the blade during use.
Note:
Do not oil the appliance while it is running.

Troubleshooting
Using the battery when it is hot can reduce the operating time.
The battery will automatically stop working when it is overheated
to prevent damage to it. Remove the battery from the charger and
allow it to cool before placing it back into the trimmer.
Using the battery when there is moisture on the leads can cause
the trimmer to malfunction. Allow the battery to dry or wipe it dry
before placing it back into the trimmer.
