Note that the front switch lever can be activated on three
sides, giving you many choices for a comfortable grip.
Before cutting an area, inspect it first and remove any
foreign objects that could become thrown or entangled
in the blades. Always hold the trimmer with both hands
and with the blade away from you before turning it on.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
action so that the stems are fed directly into the blade.
(See Fig. I & J)
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before
cutting. When operating, keep the cutting blades away
from people and objects such as walls, large stones,
trees, vehicles, etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the trimmer. Release
the two Switch Levels (5 & 6) before attempting to clear
jammed debris from the cutting blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
Do not attempt to cut stems that are too thick for the
cutting blade.
toP cUttING
Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig. I). A slight
downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of
motion gives the best cutting results.
SIDe cUttING
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (See Fig. J), tapering the hedge
inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the
hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth.
