Trimming Instructions

1. WORKING POSITION - Maintain proper footing and balance

and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear

and gloves when trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands

and turn the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the

illustrations in this manual, with one hand on the switch handle

and one hand on the pole. Never hold the tool by the hand guard.

2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - 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 gives the

best cutting. Do not cut stems greater than 3/8” (10mm). Use the

trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery around houses and

buildings.

3. LEVEL HEDGES - To obtain exceptionally level hedges

a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge

as a guide.

4. SIDE-TRIMMING HEDGES - Begin at the bottom and sweep up.

USING.

• SAVE INSTRUCTION MANUAL.

• KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM BLADES.
