CARRYING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING:
Always remove the battery
pack from the hedge trimmer and install the
blade guard when transporting it from one
location to another, even if it is a short distance.
Once you have removed the battery pack and
installed the blade guard, grasp the assist
handle with one hand facing backward (Fig. 10).
Always carry the hedge trimmer with the cutting
blades facing behind your legs to avoid them
contacting any part of your legs.
HOLDING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING:
Always use two hands when
operating the hedge trimmer to maintain proper
control.
Grasp the assist handle (1) with one hand and
the main handle (2) with the other hand
(Fig. 11).
CUTTING THE VERTICAL SIDES OF THE
HEDGE
To cut the vertical sides of the hedge, swing the
blade upward from the bottom of the hedge in
an arc (Fig. 12). Repeat the arc motion by
lowering the blade to the bottom of the hedge
and swinging it upward in an arc again to make
the cut. Gradually move forward as the hedge is
trimmed the desired amount.
NOTE: Cutting the sides of a tall hedge where
your arms are raised above head height is very
tiring. To avoid fatigue and possible injury, only
work in the overhead position for short periods
of time. Take a break often to avoid fatigue.
CUTTING THE HORIZONTAL TOP OF THE
HEDGE
When cutting the horizontal top of the hedge,
hold the cutting blades at a 0°
–10° angle to the
top surface of the hedge (Fig. 13). Swing the
cutting blades in an arc back and forth across
the top of the hedge. Use both edges of the
cutting blades, changing the 0°
–10° angle with
each change in cutting direction.
NOTE: Swing the cutting blades in an arc
towards the outside edges of the hedge to assist
in sweeping the cuttings off the horizontal
surface.
