• Batteries may become warm while charging. This is normal.
• If battery is hot after continuous use in the tool, allow it to cool down to room temperature before charging. This will
extend the life of your batteries.

USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Warning:
cords, lights, wire, or loose string which can become entangled in the cutting blade and
create a risk of serious personal injury.
•
Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles,
non-skid footwear and rubber gloves.
•
Hold the unit with both hands with the cutting blades directed away from you. Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
•
Do not trim too much at one time. This can cause the blades to bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
•
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 of your work.
•
Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 3/4" thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large
stems.
•
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade.
Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed most easily by using a sawing movement.
•
Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when operating. Use a firm grip on the handles. The unit is used for
cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action from side to side.
