TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1 EXTENSION CORD- (Figure 1)
Always keep 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.
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, as shown in figure 3,
with one hand on the switch handle
and one hand on the bail handle.
Never hold the tool by the blade
guard.
O
3 TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - (Figure
4) -A wide, sweeping motion, feeding
the blade teeth through the twigs is
most effective. A slight downward tilt
of the blade, in the direction of motion
ives the best cutting.
CAUTION: Do not use the trimmer for
cutting stems greater than 3/4" (10mm).
Use the trimmer only for cutting normal
shrubbery found around houses and
buildings.
4. LEVEL HEDGES (Figure 5) - To
obtain exceptionally level hedges,
a piece of string can be stretched
along the length of the hedge as a
guide.
