APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purpose listed below:
Trimming and shaping hedges and shrubbery
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
3/8 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 engine, allow the
blades to stop, and 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.
Always wear gloves when using the hedge trimmer. When
trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that

OPERATION
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.

Always hold hedge trimmer with both hands when op-
erating. 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.

When handling blade assembly, do not place your hand or fingers between blades or in any position where they could get pinched or cut.
