Press the power button (11) to turn off the hedge
trimmer.
Remove battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
USING THE ROTATING REAR HANDLE
See figure 4.
Place the hedge trimmer on a flat and even surface.
Make sure that you released the trigger.
Pull the rotation lever (7) and begin turning the rear
handle. Release the rotation lever and turn the handle
45 or 90 degrees to either side until it clicks into place
and the lever locks in.
To turn the handle back to center, pull the rotation lever
again, turn the handle slightly, release the rotation lever
and continue turning the handle until it locks into place.
ANTI-JAMMING FUNCTION
If the branch is blocked in the blade, press the anti-
jamming button on the control panel, the blade will
reverse six times, and the branch should be released.
OPERATING TIPS
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.
Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 15
mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the
cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning
saw to trim large stems.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then,
stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height.
Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string. See
Figure 5. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be
slightly narrower at the top. See Figure 6. More of the
hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it
will be more uniform. If blades do become jammed,
stop the motor, allow the blades to stop and remove
the battery pack before attempting to remove the
obstruction.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
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 easiest by using a sawing movement.
English (Original instructions)
If blade jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT
TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY
LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the
hedge trimmer by the insulated rear handle or lay it
down and away from you in a safe manner. Disconnect
the electrical service to the damaged line or cord before
attempting to free the blade from the line or cord. Failure
to heed this warning will result in serious personal injury
or possible death.
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as cords, lights, wire, or string which can
become entangled in the cutting blade and create a risk
of serious personal injury.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil,grease, etc. When
servicing use only identical Powerworks replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard or
cause product damage.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that may
damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
BLADE MAINTENANCE – HEDGE TRIMMER
Battery units do not have to be plugged into an electrical
outlet; therefore, they are always in operating condition.
To prevent serious personal injury, always remove
the battery and take extra precautions and care when
performing maintenance, service or for changing the
cutting blade.
