TRIMMING INSTRUCTIONS AND TECHNIQUES
•
Always keep the extension cord away from the trimming area. Make sure the
extension cord is behind the trimmer. If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it
immediately. AFTER the cord is unplugged, inspect it for damage and repair or
replace it if necessary.
•
Maintain proper balance at all times. Keep hands away from blades. Wear eye
protection when using the unit. Hold the trimmer firmly with both hands and
turn ON. See Figure.
•
Do not use the trimmer with wet growth or in the rain.
•
A wide sweeping cutting motion away from the body in a single direction is
recommended. Allow the trimmer to proceed naturally as it cuts the growth –
do not force the trimmer.
This unit should NOT be used to cut limbs that are greater in diameter than
the opening on the unit's blades. Model RH25 can cut up to a 3/8" limb.
• Watch out for foreign objects. Avoid trimming near wiring or other objects such as
chain link fences that could jam the blades or cause a hazardous situation.
• When trimming the sides of a hedge, begin at the bottom and sweep up.
• Be careful to avoid cutting your leg(s) when trimming below your waste.
CAUTION: If the blades become jammed or stalled on a branch, stick, or foreign
object, release the trigger immediately. Failure to stop the unit when the blades are
jammed may cause excessive damage to the unit's motor and void the warranty.
Clearing Jams
CAUTION: To prevent injury, keep hands away from trigger during clearing of jams.
For added safety, it is recommended that you disconnect the power cord from the
unit before clearing the blade. To prevent injury, do not use the ReadyHedger
any damaged parts. If the unit continues to jam, call the service number listed be-
low.
After the blades have completely stopped, carefully remove the obstruction
.
REMEMBER THAT THE BLADES COAST AFTER THE UNIT IS TURNED OFF!
MAINTENANCE
BLADE CLEANING – WARNING: To prevent injury unplug unit and keep hands
away from the trigger before performing any maintenance to unit or blades.
After you have finished trimming, you may find that dirt and vegetation have
accumulated on the blades. Use a dry scrub brush to clean debris off of
blades. A penetrating oil spray can be used to soften hard deposits.
BLADE LUBRICATION – After use, wipe the blades with a cloth to remove any
debris. Then, with a rag, apply a thin film of light oil to the top and bottom of blades.

LUBRICATION – Aside from blade lubrication, no periodic lubrication of other

ReadyHedger
parts is required.
CLEANING OF PLASTIC PARTS – Use only a dry brush or a cloth with warm wa-
ter and mild soap to clean plastic parts. Many household cleaners contain chemi-
cals, which could damage the plastic. Never use gasoline, turpentine, paint thinner
or similar fluids. Never spray-wash tool or immerse in water. Water or liquid inside
the tool can cause serious damage to the unit.
STORAGE
PREVENTING CORROSION – Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain
compounds that greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the unit on
or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
Keep the unit stored in a place that is away from children. The blades on the unit
are sharp and can be dangerous even when the unit is not plugged in.
