BEFORE OPERATING
Adjust the angle of the trimmer to suit the area you are
trimming; adjust the blade angle based on the situation.
Adjust the blade as follows:
1.
Use one hand to grasp the angle adjustment holder
(A). (Fig. 2A & 2B)
2.
Loosen the locking screw (B) by turning it counter
clockwise. (Fig. 2A)
3.
When the blade is in the desired position, turn the
locking screw clockwise and tighten it securely to
ensure that the blade is fixed.
NOTE: The hedge trimmer can only be adjusted up
to maximum of 90 degrees. (Fig. 2B)

OPERATING TIPS
•
To trim new growth, use a wide sweeping motion, feed-
ing the blade teeth through the hedge or twigs. The
most effective cutting is achieved with a slight down-
ward tilt of the blade.
•
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 cut-
ting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and
will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
•
Do not try to cut stems that are larger than 3/8 inches
(10 mm) thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or prun-
ing saw to trim large stems.
•
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then,
stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height.
Trim the hedge just above this 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 be more uniform.

WARNING: If operating the unit on a slope,
stand below the cutting attachment. DO NOT
operate on a slope or hilly incline if there is
the slightest chance of slipping or losing your
footing.

overheating. See the operator’s manual for the unit
that will power this attachment for the recommended
cord size.
