This hedge trimmer is intended for cutting and trimming
hedges and bushes in domestic use. It is not intended to
be used for cutting above shoulder level.
When using the hedge trimmer make sure that you
secure your extension cord in the cord retainer as shown
in Figure 3.
1. Place the hedge trimmer on a flat and even surface
and disconnect from the power supply.
2. Make sure that you release the triggers.
3. Pull the lock lever (8) out and rotate the rear handle
(Figure 9c).
4. Release the lock lever and ensure that it is fully
locked in before operating the hedge trimmer.
Make sure that you disconnect the hedge
trimmer from the power supply before attaching
or removing the HedgeSweep™ debris sweeper.
To avoid clippings and other debris falling back into the
hedge while cutting you can use the HedgeSweep™
debris sweeper to sweep the cuttings off the hedge. You
can attach the HedgeSweep™ debris sweeper by sliding
it onto the rail as shown in Figure 2. The sloped end
should be facing the motor housing of the hedge trimmer.
To remove HedgeSweep™ just pull it towards the front
of the blade.
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. 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.
Two handed operation is required. Hedge
trimmer will not operate unless both switches are
activated. Always use two hands when operating
the hedge trimmer.
Starting:
Press and hold rear trigger (10) and squeeze front trigger
(4).
Stopping:
Release either of the switch levers (4) and (10).
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the
machine, disconnect the plug from power source
and wait for all moving parts to stop. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in serious
personal injury or property damage.
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.
6
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals
can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which
may result in serious personal injury.
Blades are sharp. When handling the blade
assembly, wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective
gloves. Do not place your hand or fingers
between blades or in any position where they
could get pinched or cut. NEVER touch blades
or service unit with the power supply connected.
nAlways clean the cutting blades after operation and
lubricate as described below.

cutting edges of the blade and check the tightness of
the blade bolts.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the
hedge trimmer blade before and after each use.
n Stop the motor and disconnect from power supply.
n Lay the hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light
weight machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
If you will be using the hedge trimmer for an extended
period, it is advisable to oil the blade during use. See
Figure 7.

n Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge
trimmer, using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.

plastic housing or the handle. They can be damaged
by certain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and
by solvents such as kerosene.
