CUTTING TIPS
WARNING:
Never cut near electric cords or lines. 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. Contact with the blade,
other conductive parts of the hedge trimmer, or
live electric cords or lines will result in death by
electrocution or serious injury.
• Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as 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, hold the unit with
both hands with the cutting blades directed away from
you. Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
• 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 3/4
in. 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 blades do become jammed, stop the product, allow
the blades to stop and remove the battery pack before
attempting to remove the obstruction.
• 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. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly
narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed
when shaped this way, and it will be more uniform.
• Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when
operating. Use a rm grip on the handles. Never hold
shrubs with one hand and operate the hedge trimmer
with the other. Improper operation of the hedge trimmer
could result in serious injury. The unit is used for cutting
in either direction in a slow, sweeping action from side
to side.
• 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.
• The risk of the operation may occurs, such as the sharp
tree branches may cut the user's skin, the blade of
the unit may hurt the user's body. Always wear eye,
hearing, hand, foot and body protection to reduce the
risk of injury when operating this unit.
