Operation pole hedge trimmer
WARNING: Read and understand this owner's manual
before operating Pole Trimmer. Make certain you read
and understand all Safety Warnings of this manual.
Improper use of this Pole Trimmer can result in severe
injury or death from fire, electric shock, or body contact
with moving parts.
Pivoting the Power Head
The Pole Trimmer is equipped with a power head that
pivots. The power head has a spring-loaded button that
allows it to be locked into several different positions
within its 135-degree rotation. Before connecting the
Pole Trimmer to the electrical supply, make sure the
power head is locked into position. Do this by trying to
rotate the power head in either direction. The power
head should be locked in position and should not rotate.
To pivot the power head, follow the instructions below.
1. Push the round button located on the side of the
pivot bracket. The button is spring-loaded, so you will
feel some resistance when pulling it out.
2. Grasp the power head motor housing and rotate the
power head to either of the 6 positions.
3. Release the round button.
It should snap back into its seated position. If it does not,
rotate the power head back and forth slightly until the
button snaps back into its seated position. The power
head is now locked into position and ready for use.
WARNING: To guard against injury observe the
following:
• Read instruction manual before using, save instruc-
tion manual.
• Keep hands away from blade.
• Keep hands on handles. Don't overreach.
• A good, firm grip on the Pole Trimmer with both hands
will help you maintain control. Don't let go. Grip the
rear handle with your right hand whether you are right
or left handed. Wrap the fingers of your left hand over
and around the front handle.

nection with a residual current operated device with a
maximum breaking current of 30mA.
Connecting Extension Cord
The Pole Trimmer has a built-in extension cord retainer
to prevent the accidental disconnection of the unit from
the extension cord during use. It is molded into the lower
hand guard area of the trigger housing.
1. Make sure the trigger lever is in the OFF position

3. Create a loop in the extension cord and insert the
loop through the bottom of the handle. Pull the loop
tight around the molded cord hook.
