the lock button). To turn the tool OFF, release the trigger.

WARNING: To guard against injury, observe the following:
 Read instruction manual before using.
 Save instruction manual.
 Keep hands away from blades.
 Keep hands on handles. Don't overreach.
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with this type of product to make
you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufficient to inflict serious injury.
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 with right hand on the switch

USING THE POLE HEDGE TRIMMER

for trimming tall, hard-to-reach
hedges or shrubs, hold the Trim-
mer at the positions shown. Pivot
the power head to several differ-
ent positions to shape or sculpt
shrubs or hedges.
OPERATING
To use Pole Hedge Trimmer for trimming smaller hedges or
shrubs, hold the Pole Trimmer at the positions as shown.
To use Pole Trimmer for trimming the bottoms and sides of
hedges and shrubs, hold the Pole Trimmer at the positions
shown.
To use Pole Trimmer for trimming low-lying foliage or ground
cover, hold the Pole Trimmer at the position as shown.
CAUTION: Do not use the trimmer for cutting stems greater
than 5/8‖.
Use the trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery found
around houses and buildings.
Do not force the Trimmer through dense growth. A slight
back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting of larger,
more dense growth. If the Trimmer begins to slow down,
reduce the rate of speed at which you are trying to cut. If the
Trimmer becomes jammed, immediately turn Trimmer off.
Remove the battery and clear the jammed debris from the
cutter blades.
