TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
EXTENSION CORD –
(Figure E)
Always keep extension cord
behind trimmer and away from the
trimming operation. Never drape it
over a hedge being trimmed. If
you cut or damage the cord,
unplug it at the electrical outlet
immediately, before inspecting or
repairing cord.
2.
WORKING POSITION –
Maintain
proper footing and balance and do
not overreach. Wear safety
goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when trimming.
Hold the tool firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON. Always
hold the trimmer, as shown in
figure E
, with one hand on the
switch handle and one hand on the bail handle. Never hold the
tool by the blade guard.
3.
TRIMMING NEW GROWTH -
(Figure F)
– A wide, sweeping
motion, feeding the blade teeth
through the twigs is most effective. A
slight downward tilt of the blade, in
the direction of motion gives the best
cutting.
CAUTION:
Do not use trimmer for cutting stems greater than
5/8 in. (16mm). Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery
found around houses and buildings.
