fire, and/or serious personal injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
For safe operation, read and understand all instructions
before using this product. Be familiar with all controls and
proper use of the machine. Follow all safety instructions.
Failure to follow all safety instructions listed below, can
result in serious personal injury.
Do not allow children or untrained individuals to use this
unit.
Thoroughly inspect the area where the equipment is to
be used and remove all foreign objects.
Wear safety glasses or goggles that are marked to com-
ply with ANSI Z87.1 standard as well as head protection
when operating this product.
Dress properly. Wear heavy long pants, boots, and gloves.
Do not wear loose fitting clothing, short pants, or go
barefoot. Do not wear jewelry of any kind.

glement in moving parts.
Keep all bystanders, children, and pets at least 50 ft. away.
Stay Alert — Watch what you are doing; use common
sense. Do not operate this unit when you are tired, ill, or
under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication.
Do not operate in poor lighting.
Keep firm footing and balance. Do not overreach. Over-
reaching can result in loss of balance or exposure to hot
surfaces.
Keep all parts of your body away from any moving part.
Inspect the unit before each use for loose fasteners, etc.
Replace any damaged parts before use.
When not in use, product should be stored indoors in a
dry, locked up place—out of the reach of children.
Use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts. Failure
to do so may cause poor performance, possible injury,
and will void your warranty.
Do not, under any circumstance, use any attachment or
accessory on this product which was not provided with
the product or identified as appropriate for use with this
product in the operator’s manual.
Avoid dangerous environments. Do not use the product
in damp or wet locations. Do not use in rain.
Use the right appliance. Do not use the hedge trimmer
for any job except that for which it is intended.
Do not use on steps, a ladder, or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
product in unexpected situations.
Do not force the product. It will do the job better and with
less likelihood of a risk of injury at the rate for which it
was designed.
DANGER — Keep hands away from cutting area. Keep
both hands on handles when power is on.
Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath
work or around or over the blade while blade is rotating.
Do not attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving. Make sure trimmer is off when clearing jammed
materials from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting
blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the
hedge trimmer.
CAUTION — Blade coasts after being turned off.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product has a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) and will
require the use of a polarized extension cord. The plug
will fit into a polarized extension cord only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the extension cord, reverse the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, obtain a correct polarized
extension cord. A polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug will fit into the
polarized wall outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the wall outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper wall outlet. Do not change the equipment plug,
extension cord receptacle, or extension cord plug in any
way.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
product or to disconnect the plug from an outlet. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
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. A wire
gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended for an
extension cord 50 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the
next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
WARNING: Use outdoor extension cords marked SW-A,
SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available having built-in
GFCI protection and may be used for this measure of
safety.
Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil or
grease.
Page 3
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For service,
we suggest you return the product to your nearest authorized
service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, AC only
(normal household current), 60 Hz. Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a
knot to prevent them from becoming disconnected during
use. Make the knot as shown in figure 1, then connect the
plug end of the power cord into the receptacle end of the
extension cord. This method can also be used to tie two
extension cords together.

EXTENSION CORDS
See Figure 1.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service
center.
WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working
with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use the product with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged area could
cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 7 - 8.
WARNING:
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer handles.
Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate hedge
trimmer with the other. Failure to heed this warning can
result in 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.
When operating the hedge trimmer, keep the extension
cord behind the trimmer. Never drape it over the hedge
being trimmed.
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 attempt 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.

Page 12
OPERATION
If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop, and disconnect the plug from the power
source 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. Stretch a
piece of string along the hedge at the desired height.
Trim the hedge just above the 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.
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.
OPERATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING:
Read the safety information for safe operation using the
blade. Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to ensure safe operation. Refer to Important Safety
Instructions and Specific Safety Rules.
Fig. 8
Hold unit firmly with both hands. Always keep your left
hand on the telescoping pole and your right hand on the
rear handle. The unit is used for cutting in either direction
in a slow, sweeping action from side to side.
Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both
feet.
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
To protect yourself from electrocution, do not operate
within 50 feet of overhead electrical lines.
Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing,
posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first
inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is
detected.
