hedge trimmer, please remove the blade sheath to switch the trimmer ON
and OFF.

Note: The blade brake makes the blades stop immediately. Also, small

harm you or the machine.
Cutting(Fig.4)
WARNING: Always keep the extension cord behind trimmer and away
from the trimming operation. Never drape it over a hedge being trimmed.
If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it at the electrical outlet immediately,
before inspecting or repairing cord.
1. Assume a secure position, using two hands to hold the trimmer and
switch the tool on.
2. Trim both sides of the hedge, starting at the bottom. This prevents
cuttings falling into the area yet to be cut.
3.
Pass the blade lightly through the surface of the hedge. Do not attempt
to cut too deep in a single pass..
4.
Trim the top of the hedge.
5.
For older hedges that require cutting back substantially, use pruning
shears to cut the thicker branches and then finish the job with the
hedge trimmer.
