Inspect the area to be cut before each use, remove objects which can be thrown or
become entangled in the cutting blades.
Always hold the hedge trimmer with both hands and with the blade away from you
before turning it on.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action so that the stems are fed
directly into the blade.
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed before entering the material to be cut.
Always work in the direction going away from people and solid objects such as walls,
large stones, trees, vehicles etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the hedge trimmer. Remove the battery pack and
clear the jammed debris from the cutting blade.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
Move the hedge trimmer to feed the branches directly into the blade cutting edges.
Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed into the cutting blade.

• Assume secure posture and hold trimmer with both hands. If using a stepladder,
ensure it is secured and if working at a high level, tie the ladder to the thicker, inner
branches of the hedge.
• Ensure no people or animals are in or near the work area.

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards, tapering
the hedge inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in a
more uniformed growth.
You can rotate the rear handle to perform side cutting as shown in Fig.F3.

For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the cutting blades before and after
each use. Before lubricating, make sure the battery pack is removed from your hedge
trimmer. Apply the oil so that it runs between the two blades. Common light duty/
