OPERATION
• Batteries may become warm while charging. This is normal.
• If battery is hot after continuous use in the tool, allow it to cool down to room temperature before charging. This will
extend the life of your batteries.
NOTE
:
It takes approximately 60 minutes to charge up a completely discharged battery.
The battery pack has a power indicator showing how much battery power remains. Push the power indicator button to
check. Each green light indicates 25% of the battery power. Four green lights indicates the battery is 100% full.
USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Warning:
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all objects such as
cords, lights, wire, or loose string which can become entangled in the cutting blade and
create a risk of serious personal injury.
•
Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles,
non-skid footwear and rubber gloves.
•
Hold the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
•
Do not trim too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
•
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the
blades slow down, reduce the pace of your work.
•
Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4" thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large
stems.
•
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed most easily by using a sawing movement.
•
Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit is used for
cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action from side to side.
