Operating Tips
•
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. Do
not overreach.
•
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
•
Never use the 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.
•
Never touch blades or service unit with the power supply
connected.
•
Do not force the 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
9/16 in., 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 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.
