of its controls and the functions should you start the engine.

left hand should grasp the rear handle and the right hand should
grasp the front side handle on single edge trimmers. On double
edge trimmers, one hand grasps the front loop handle, while
the other hand grasps the rear handle.
4. Squeeze the throttle to accelerate the engine and engage
the blades.
5. Tilt the trimmer so the cutting teeth are angled slightly
toward the hedge or shrub and proceed to cut. Use
overlapping sweeping motions away from your body to achieve
a safe and even cut.
6. This unit is designed to cut any type of hedge or shrub;
however,
THICKNESS OF CUT SHOULD NOT EXCEED 1
INCH IN DIAMETER.
Misuse of this Hedge Trimmer will void the
warranty. ie: Cutting hedges or shrubs over 1" in
diameter or foreign objects such as wires, rocks, or
fences. Before trimming check work area for foreign
objects such as wires, cords, glass, fences, or rocks. Be
sure to remove any foreign objects from the work area. Failure to
properly maintain this hedge trimmer will void the warranty.

Lubrication

1. A few drops of a light #10 oil should be placed on the back
edge of each blade guard at each adjusting screw approximately
after every 4 hours of normal operation.
2. To obtain trouble free trimming, it is necessary to keep the
blades lubricated and clean. The gum that collects and builds up on
the blades can be removed with a 50-50 mixture of kerosene and
#10 oil. As petroleum products can shorten the life of some
plastics it is necessary to remove excess oil-kerosene mixture from
the plastic parts.
3. When blades are replaced, or any other time that the
bottom cover plate is removed, the grease level should be checked
for proper amount (approximately 3/4 full in the area of the gears)
and a new gasket (P/N319) should be used to insure proper seating
of the cover plate. Grease level should be checked and adjusted
after every 50 hours of use. Use only Lubrico M3-3K-9K
(P/N 16-78A) grease in the gear housing.
