ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing to Operate the Hedge trimmer
Your trimmer is equipped with two switch levers (a & b). Both switch levers must be pressed for the
hedge trimmer to start. Depress and hold safety handle switch (b) and press on/off switch (a).
Move hedge trimmer away from cutting area before stopping.
To stop, release either the safety handle switch (b) or on/off switch (a), the Trimmer will stop almost
immediately.
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, damaged or broken, do not operate your Hedge trimmer
until all damaged parts have been replaced or repaired. Failure to do so could result in serious
personal injury.
Step 1 – To Start Or Stop Your Hedge Trimmer
Step 2– Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of motion
gives the best cutting results.
WARNING
:Inspect the area to be cut before each use, remove objects which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting blades. Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both hands and
with the blade away from you before turning it on.Always keep the power cord behind the Hedge
trimmer when in use. Do not place it over the hedge that you are trimming where it may be cut by the
blade. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into
the blade. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material to be cut. Always
work going away from people and solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles etc. If the
blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge trimmer from the mains
and clear the jammed debris from the cutting blades. Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth. Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the branches directly into the blade cutting edges. Do not
try to cut stems that are too large to feed into the cutting blade.
