HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE
TRIMMER
Inspect the area to be cut before each use, remove
objects which can be thrown or become entangled in
the cutting blades.
Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both hands and
with the blade away from you before turning it on.
Always keep the power cord behind the Hedge
trimmer when in use. Do not place it over the
hedge that you are trimming where it may be
cut by the blade.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
action so that the stems are fed directly into the
blade. (See Fig. E & F))
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before
entering the material to be cut.
Always work going away from people and solid
objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge
trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge trimmer from the
mains and clear the jammed debris from the cutting
blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the branches
directly into the blade cutting edges.
Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed into
the cutting blade.
TOP CUTTING (SEE Fig. E)
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 (SEE Fig. F)
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards, tapering the hedge inward
at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge,
resulting in a more uniformed growth.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Disconnect from mains electrics supply. Using a soft
brush-remove debris from all air intakes and cutting
blade.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Wipe over surface of your Hedge trimmer with a dry
cloth.
WARNING!
Never use water for cleaning
your Hedge trimmer. Do not clean with
chemicals, including petrol, or solvents as this
can damage your hedge trimmer.
AT THE END OF THE CUTTING SEASON

Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Visually inspect the Hedge trimmer for any worn or
damaged parts.
