GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert, and knowing how your hedge trimmer works.
SAVE THESE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety,
operation and maintenance instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away . All visitors and pets should be kept a safe distance away from

ELECTRICAL SATETY
Grounding instructions
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least
resistance for electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric
cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into
a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and
ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The
conductor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding
conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the
equipment grounding conductor to a live terminal.
CHECK with licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding
instructions, or if you are not sure if the tool is properly grounded.
USE ONLY THREE-WIRE EXTENSION CORDS that have 3-pronged plugs and outlets that accept the
tool's plug as shown in Fig. A. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord immediately.

6
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure if it
is, have a licensed electrician check the outlet.
WARNING: Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
Guidelines for using extension cords
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used
according to cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Minimum Gauge for Extension Cords (AWG)
(When using 120 V only)
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be
protected with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor
nameplate. Running at a lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
All visitors, children and pets should stay at a safe distance from the work area.Keep bystanders
away.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate hedge trimmer when you
are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
Use right appliance. Do not use an appliance for any job except that for which it is intended.
Don’t wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. They can be
caught in moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and substantial footwear is recommended when
working outdoors.

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.
WARNING: 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 motor, 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 firm grip on the handles. 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.
