• TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. WORKING POSITION. Maintain proper footing and
balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-
skid footwear and rubber gloves when trimming. Hold the
tool firmly in both hands and turn the tool ON. Always
hold the trimmer, as shown in the illustrations, with one
hand on the body handle and one hand on the front
handle. Never hold the tool by the blade guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH. A wide, sweeping motion,
feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is most
effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade, in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting.
3. LEVEL HEDGES. To obtain exceptionally level hedges, a
piece of string can be stretched along the length of the
hedge as a guide.

MAINTENANCE
Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected and oiled
occasionally during use.
1. The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened
steel and with normal usage, they will not require
resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire
fence, stones, glass or other hard objects, you may put a
nick in the blade. There is no need to remove this nick as
long as it does not interfere with the movement of the
blade. If it does interfere, unplug unit and use a fine
toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick.
2. If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If
the blade is bent, housing cracked, or handles broken or if
you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer's
operation contact an authorized service center for repairs
before putting it back into use.
3. Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents
which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not
store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
4. With the unit unplugged, use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
• BLADE LUBRICATION
WARNING: Before lubricating, be sure your unit is switched
offand blades have come to a complete stop.
