ASSEMBLY:
Before using this hedge trimmer, make sure
that you have read all of the safety instructions.
Be aware of the position of the cable at all
times. Keep it away from the blade.
1. Start trimming at the point nearest to the
electricity supply and work away from it.
2. Keep the mains cable behind you at all times.
Make sure that it is not in the path of the blade.
3. When trimming, the blade should be tilted
towards the hedge. Always trim from the
bottom upwards. (See Fig.D1 D2)
4. Trim the sides of the hedge first and then
trim the top.
5. If the branches are very long, they should be
cut back in several stages.
6. Make sure that there are no hard objects in
the hedge, such as railings, that could damage
the blade.
7. If the blade becomes jammed, switch off and
disconnect from the mains supply before
clearing the obstruction.
8. Do not force the hedge trimmer to cut over
sized branches. These should be cut by hand
using secateurs or shears.
Seasonal hedges and shrubs that lose their
leaves in the winter should be trimmed in June
and October.
Evergreen hedges and shrubs that retain their
leaves in the winter should be trimmed in April
and August.
Conifers and other fast growing shrubs can be
trimmed every six weeks from May onwards
throughout the growing season.
