SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
FOR ALL HEDGE TRIMMERS
1) Avoid Dangerous Environment – Don’t
use hedge trimmer in damp or wet
location.
2) Don’t Use In Rain.
3) Keep Children Away – All visitors
should be kept at a distance from work
area.
4) Dress Properly – Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in
moving parts. Use of rubber gloves and
substantial footwear is recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
5) Use Safety Glasses – Always use face
or dust mask if operation is dusty.
6) 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.
7) Use Right Appliance – Do not use
appliance for any job except that for which
it is intended.
8) WARNING! To reduce the risk of
electric shock, use only with an
extension cord intended for outdoor use,
such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A,
SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-A.
9) Extension Cord – 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. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. Table 1 shows the correct
size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller
the gage number, the heavier the cord. To
reduce the risk of disconnection of hedge
trimmer cord from the extension cord
during operating:
i ) Make a knot as shown in Figure 1, or
ii) Use the cord retention clip as shown in
Fig B
10) Avoid Unintentional Starting – Don’t
carry plugged-in hedge trimmer with
finger on switch. Be sure switch is off
when plugging in.
11) Don’t Abuse Cord – Never carry hedge
trimmer by cord or yank it to disconnect
from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil,
and sharp edges.
12) DANGER! Risk of Cut - Keep Hands
Away From Blades - Keep both hands on
handles when power is on.
13) Don’t Force Hedge Trimmer – It will do
the job better and with less risk of injury
at the rate for which it was designed.
14) Don’t Overreach – Keep proper footing
and balance at all times.
15) Stay Alert – Watch what you are doing.
Use common sense. Do not operate
hedge trimmer when you are tired.
16) Disconnect Hedge Trimmer
– Disconnect the hedge trimmer from the
power supply when not in use, before
servicing, when changing accessories
such as blades, and the like.
17) Store Idle Hedge Trimmer Indoors
– When not in use, hedge trimmer should
be stored indoors in dry, and high or
locked-up place – out of reach of children.
18) Maintain Hedge Trimmer With Care
– Keep cutting edge sharp and clean
for best performance and to reduce the
risk of injury. Follow instructions for
lubricating blades. Inspect hedge trimmer
cord periodically, and if damaged, have it
repaired by an authorized service facility.
Inspect extension cords periodically and
replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,
clean, and free from oil and grease.
19) Check Damaged Parts – Before further
use of the hedge trimmer, a guard or
other part that is damaged should be
carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended
0706
Hedge Trimmer EN
0706
function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other
condition that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center unless
indicated elsewhere in this manual.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
WARNING! Do not use the product
without fitting the guard.
1. ASSEMBLY OF THE GUARD (See Fig A)
Insert the guard into the slot as illustrated in
Fig A, and use two screws to fix the guard
securely.
2. POWER CORD RETENTION CLIP (See
Fig B)
For strain relief of the power cord, form a loop
of the end of the cord and bring it through the
opening in the handle. Wrap the loop around
the retention clip.
3. STARTING AND STOPPING (See Fig C)
BEFORE STARTING YOUR HEDGE
TRIMMER
Remove blade sheath (7) as illustrated in Fig D.
TO START YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
There are two switch levers fitted in your
Hedge trimmer (2&4).
Simultaneously depress both switch levers for
the product to start. Depress and hold the front
switch lever (4) and rear switch lever (2).
TO STOP YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Move Hedge trimmer away from cutting area
before stopping.
To stop, release one of the switch levers.
WARNING: If any parts are missing,
damaged or broken, do not operate your
Hedge trimmer until all damaged parts have
been replaced or repaired. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
4. HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
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.
Always keep the power cord behind the
Hedge trimmer when in use. Do not place
it over the hedge that you are trimming
0908
Hedge Trimmer EN
0908
where it may be cut by the blade.
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 going away from people and
solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees,
vehicles etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge
trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge trimmer from
the power supply and clear the jammed debris
from the cutting blades.
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.
TOP CUTTING (See E)
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight
downward tilt of the cutting blades in the
direction of motion gives the best cutting
results.
SIDE CUTTING (See F)
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
uniform growth.
WARNING: Check extension cords
before each use. If damaged replace
immediately. Never use your tool with a
damaged cord since touching the damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in
serious injury.
If the supply cord is damaged, it should be
replaced by a local approved Service Center.
Take care not to expose this tool to rain.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Disconnect from power supply. Using a soft
brush-remove debris from all air intakes and
cutting blade.
Wipe over surface of your Hedge trimmer with
a dry cloth.
WARNING! Never use water for
cleaning your Hedge trimmer. Do
not clean with chemicals, including gas, or
solvents as this can damage your hedge
trimmer.
LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate
the cutting blades before and after each use.
Before lubricating, make sure your Hedge
trimmer is disconnected from the power
supply. Apply a light household oil so that it
runs between the two blades.
Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected
and oiled occasionally during use.
AT THE END OF THE CUTTING SEASON
Clean your Hedge trimmer thoroughly.
Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
Visually inspect the Hedge trimmer for any
worn or damaged parts.
