Cutting Tips
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, keep hands away from blades. Do not attempt
to remove cut material or hold material to be cut when the blades are moving. Make sure that
the blades have totally stopped
and the battery pack is removed before clearing jammed material from blades. Do not grasp
the exposed cutting blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects, such as cords,
lights, wire, or string which can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Avoid trimming too much at one time or through the heavy shrubbery. This can
cause the blades to bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction
of motion gives the best cutting results. For better cutting effect, you might as well use the
string to guide the hedge level.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards.

Cleaning
1.

To remove pitch and other sticky residue, spray the blades with resin solvent. Run the
motor briefly so that the solvent is evenly distributed.
3.
Wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
Maintenance

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure that the machine is in safe working
condition.
2.
Examine the machine and replace worn or damaged parts for safety
3.
Check that the guards are undamaged and correctly fitted. Carry out necessary
maintenance or repairs before using.
4.
Do not use the unit if the blades are blunt or worn. This will overstress the motor and
gearbox of the machine.
Lubricating the blade
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer blade with light weight
machine oil before and after each use. Remove the battery pack and lay the trimmer onto a
flat surface. Apply the oil along the edge of the top blade
