Cutting Tips

m

WARNING! 

Always hold the pole hedge trimmer with 

both hands. Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate the 

pole hedge trimmer with the other. Failure to heed this warning 

can result in serious injury.

m

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.

•  Do not force the pole hedge trimmer through heavy 

shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and slow 

down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.

•  Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 

 

0.6 in. (1.5 cm) thick, or those obviously too large to feed 

into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or 

pruning saw to trim large stems.

•  If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the 

blades to stop, and remove the battery from the power tool 

before attempting to remove the obstruction.

•  If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. 

Decide how high you want the hedge. Stretch a piece of 

string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge 

just above the guide line of string. Trim the side of a hedge 

so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the 

hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will be 

more uniform.

•  Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. 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 easiest 

by using a sawing movement.

•  Hold unit firmly with both hands. Always keep your left 

hand on the telescoping pole and your right hand on the 

rear handle. The unit is used for cutting in either direction in 

a slow, sweeping action from side to side.

•  Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet.
•  Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
•  To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate within 

33 feet (10 m) of overhead electrical lines.

•  Never use the pole hedge trimmer near power lines, 

fencing, posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.

•  Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first 

inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is 

detected.

1.  To use the pole hedge trimmer for trimming tall,  

hard-to-read hedges or shrubs, hold the trimmer at the 

position shown below (Fig. 43). Pivot the power head  

to several different positions to shape or sculpt shrubs 

 

or hedges.

2.  To use pole hedge trimmer for trimming the bottoms and 

sides of hedges and shrubs, hold the pole trimmer at the 

position shown below (Fig. 44).

3.  To use pole hedge trimmer for trimming low-lying foliage 

or ground cover, hold the pole hedge trimmer at the 

position as shown below (Fig. 45).
