TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
2. LEVEL HEDGES—
To obtain exceptionally level hedges,
a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the
hedge as a guide.
CAUTION:
Do not use the trimmer for cutting stems
greater than 5/8”. Use the trimmer only for cutting normal
shrubbery found around houses and buildings.
3. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH—
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 the
motion gives the best cutting.
1. 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, with right hand on the switch
handle and left hand on the front. Never hold the tool by
the blade guard. Keep unit below waist level.
