WARNING
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED
APPLIANCE.
In a double-insulated product, two systems
of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means are
provided for a double-insulated product, nor
should grounding means be added to the
product. Servicing a double-insulated
product requires extreme care and
knowledge of the system and should be
done only by qualified service personnel.
Replacement parts for a double-insulated
product must be identical to the
original parts. A double-insulated
product is marked with the words
" double Insulation" or "Double
Insulated". Product may also be
marked with symbol shown.
3.
Adjust the length of the extension
handle.
4.
Remove the blade cover.
5.
Plug the extension cord into an
electrical outlet.
6.
With the blade directed away from
you, hold the unit by the rear
handle and the front hand grip.
7.
Press and hold the safety switch
and then press on the handle
trigger.
8.
Start the unit away from the
hedges that you wish to trim.
9.
If you hear the motor change pitch
dramatically while cutting, it may
be overloaded. Check to see if the
hedge or bush that you are
trimming is very thick or dense.
Doing a rough cut to trim about
half the height that you want is
recommended to help reduce the
load on the motor. The maximum
thickness of a branch that the
hedge trimmer will cut is
approximately 3/8 inch. Keep from
trimming too much at one time as
this can cause the blades to bind
and slow, reducing the cutting
efficiency. Do
NOT
force the unit
through dense growth. If your
blades slow down, reduce your
pace.
WARNING:
Never use the
safety guard as a handle.
Never grasp the unit by the safety
guard. Failure to do so can result in
serious possible injury.
WARNING:
Clear the area to
be cut before starting. Remove
all objects such as cords, lights,
wire or string which may become
entangled in the cutting blade.
DANGER:
If the blade
becomes jammed on any
electrical cord or line,
DO NOT
TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN
BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE
AND VERY DANGEROUS
.
Continue to hold your trimmer by
the insulated handles and
immediately disconnect the
damaged electrical cord or line from
the power source. Failure to heed
this will result in serious personal
injury and possibly death.
