intended to be grounded. As a result,

your tool is equipped with a two prong
plug which permits you to use extension

cords without concern for maintaining a
ground connection.

FOR FUTURE USE

ATI°ACHING EXTENSION CORD TO
TRJM_,IER

An extension cord retainer is built into the
switch handle that prevents the tool from

coming unplugged. To use this feature,
simply double the extension cord about 8
inches from the end, and insert it into the
slot in the bottom of the handle area.

Hook the loop formed by doubling the
cord over the tab, as shown in Figure 1.

Gently tug on the cord to insure that it is
firmly retained in the trimmer's handle.

Plug the receptacle end of the extension
cord into the plug blades in the trimmer.

TO TURN THE TOOL ON

Pull the LOCK BUTTON back with your
thumb and then squeeze the TRIGGER
with your fingers as shown in Figure 2.

(Once the tool is running you can release
the LOCK BUTTON.) To turn the tool
OFF, release the TRIGGER.

TO LOCK THE TOOL ON FOR

CONTINUOUS RUN

WITH THE TOOL RUNNING pull the
LOCK BUTTON ALL THE WAY back,

release the TRIGGER, then release the
LOCK BUTTON. The tool is now locked

ON. To turn the tool OFF, squeeze and
release the TRIGGER. NOTE: In order to

lock the tool on, it is important to first
release the trigger and then release the

lock button.

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 POSmON - 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.

3 TRI#,_[VlING 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" (10ram).

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.

5. SIDE-TRIMMING HEDGES (Figure 6)
Begin at the bottom and sweep up.

AWARNING: To guard against injury

observe the following:
Read instruction manual before using,

Save instruction manual.
Keep hands away from blades.
Keep hands on handles Don't

overreach.
Do not use under we_ _u,lditions.

Do not use with damaged extension
cords.

Do not unplug or store with switch

locked on.

ACAUTION: Blade coasts after turn off.

never immerse any part of the tool into a
liquid.

IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY
and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance

and adjustment should be performed by
Sears service centers or other qualified

service personnel, always using identical
replacement parts.

_WARNING" DO NOT use the hedge

trimmer with any type of accessory or
attachment. Such usage might be
hazardous.

The cutting blades are made from high
quality, hardened steel and with normal

usage, they will not require resharpening.

However, if you accidentally hit a wire

fence, stones, glass or other hard
objects, you may put a nick in the blade.

There is no need to remove this nick as

long as it does not interfere with the
movement of the blade. If it does

interfere, unplug unit and use a fine
toothed file or sharpening stone to

remove the nick.

If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect
it for damage. If the blade is bent,
housing cracked, or handles broken or if

you see any other condition that may
affect the trimmer's operation, contact
your local Sears Service Center for

repairs before putting it back into use.

Fertilizers and other garden chemicals
contain agents which greatly accelerate

the corrosion of metals. Do not store the
tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or

chemicals.
With the unit unplugged, use only mild

soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool;
