Using the Hedge Trimmer
See Figs 3 and 4
Follow these steps to use the Hedge Trimmer:
1. When trimming, the blade should be tilted approximately 15 degrees towards the hedge.
Always trim from the bottom upwards.
2. Trim the sides of the hedge first and then trim the top.
3. If the branches are very long, they should be cut back in several stages.
4. Make sure that there are no objects in the hedge, such as railings, that could damage the
blade.
5. If the blade becomes jammed, always switch off power at mains before clearing the
obstruction.
6. Do not force the Hedge Trimmer to cut over sized branches. These should be cut by hand
using secateurs or shears.
Before using this Hedge Trimmer, make sure that you have read all of the
safety instructions. This Hedge Trimmer needs to be plugged into a mains
supply to be operational.
