Operating Instructions

To use the Pole Trimmer for trimming the bottoms and
sides of hedges and shrubs, hold the Pole Trimmer at the
positions as shown.
To use the Pole Trimmer for trimming low- lying foliage
or ground cover, hold the Pole Trimmer at the position
as shown.
Use the Pole Trimmer properly. Always wear eye protec-
tion, rubber gloves, and substantial foot wear while using
the Pole Trimmer. Always maintain proper footing and
balance and never overreach when using Pole Trimmer.
Before starting the Pole Trimmer, hold the unit with both
hands on the grip areas. Make sure that the cutter blade
is not touching anything.
Always keep the extension cord behind the Pole Trimmer
when in use. Do not drape the cord over the hedge where
it may be cut by the blades. Use smooth steady sweeping
motions to trim new growth. Do not try to cut too much at
one time. This can cause the Pole Trimmer to slow down
or get jammed, reducing the cutting efficiency.
Do not force the Pole Trimmer through dense growth. A
slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting
of larger, more dense growth. If the Pole Trimmer begins
to slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you
are trying to cut. If the Pole Trimmer becomes jammed,
immediately turn Pole Trimmer off. Disconnect Pole
Trimmer from the power supply and remove the jammed
debris from the cutter blades.
Do not try to cut branches larger than 18mm in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with an upward
sweeping motion. Trim the hedges so that the top is
slightly narrower than the bottom.
