CAUTION!
Do not use the pole hedge trimmer for
cutting stems greater than 0.70" (1.8 cm) (or approximately 3/4
in. thick).
Use the pole hedge trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery
found around houses and buildings.
Do not force the pole hedge trimmer through dense growth.
A slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting of
larger, more dense growth. If the pole hedge trimmer begins to
slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you are trying to
cut. If the pole hedge trimmer becomes jammed, immediately
turn the trimmer off. Disconnect the plug from the power
source and clear the jammed debris from the cutter blades.
