TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS

1. WORKING POSITION – Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid
footwear when trimming. Hold the unit firmly in both hands and turn the unit 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 bail handle. (Figure G)
Never hold the unit by the blade guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH – (Figure H) 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.
CAUTION:
DO NOT CUT STEMS GREATER THAN 3/4 INCH (19 MM). USE THE TRIMMER ONLY FOR
CUTTING NORMAL SHRUBBERY AROUND HOUSES AND BUILDINGS.
3. LEVEL HEDGES (Figure I) – To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string can be stretched along the length
of the hedge as a guide.
