Cutting tips

DANGER: Never cut near electric cords or lines. If
blade jams on any electrical cord or line, DO
NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME ELEC-
TRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS. Continue to hold
the hedge trimmer by the insulated rear handle or lay it
down and away from you in a safe manner. Disconnect the
electrical service to the damaged line or cord before
attempting to free the blade from the line or cord. Contact
with the blade, other conductive parts of the hedge
trimmer, or live electric cords or lines will result in death by
electrocution or serious injury.
WARNING: Clear the area to be cut before each
use. Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire,
or loose string which can become entangled in
the cutting blade and create a risk of serious personal injury.
• Before starting the hedge trimmer, hold the unit with both
hands with the cutting blades directed away from you.
Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
• 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 try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than 3/4
inch thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the
cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw
Use only identical spare parts for repairing a tool.
Caution! If there's any defective found of the battery pack, it must be repaired or replaced by the assigned
service organization.

EN INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Maintenance
to trim large stems.
• If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop and remove the battery pack before at- temp-
ting to remove the obstruction.
• If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level.
Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece
of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just
above this 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 hold hedge trimmer with both hands when opera-
ting. 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.
• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
• When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action,
so that 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.
