Using with the Hedge Trimmer
Blade
•
Side cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards holding the trimmer at a slight
angle to the hedge.
•
Top cutting
Use a smooth wide sweeping motion. A slight downward
tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives
the best cutting results.
Using with the Grass Shear Blade
Move the grass shear parallel to the ground. Direct
the shear forward smoothly. Do not sweep the shear
from side to side as this will not allow the blade to cut
properly.
WARNING!
If the blade jams on an hidden
electrical cord, do not touch the blade it can
become live and very dangerous. Disconnect
the electrical service to the damaged line
before attempting to free the blade.
