amount of the hedges to be cut.

with your left hand.

sition.
Useing the Hedge Trimmer
Preparations
 Use lopping shears to cut thick branches first.
Cutting Sequence
 If a radial cut is necessary, cut a little at a time in several
passes.
Cutting Techniques
 Vertical cut:
 Swing the blade up and down in an arc as you move
along the hedge. Use both sides of the cutting blade.
 Cut without standing directly next to the hedge, e.g. with
a flower bed between operator and hedge.
 Overhead Cut:
 Hold the shaft upright with a 90° blade angle to cut an
upper surface of a hedge.
 Horizontal Cut:
 Hold the cutting blade at an angle of 0° to 10° as you
swing the hedge trimmer horizontally.
 Swing the blade in an arc towards the outside of the
hedge so that the cuttings are swept on to the ground.
 Cut without standing directly in front of the hedge, e.g.
reach over a flower bed.
 Cut close to the ground from a standing position, e.g., for
low shrubs.
NOTE
 This product is designed to cut shrubs and hedges with branches no larger than 6 mm in diameter.
 When starting to trim, run the engine at full throttle. Cutting at less at than full speed can damage the clutch by allowing it to
slip. When you do not conduct trimming or cutting work, do not run the engine at full throttle.
