CUTTING TIPS
WARNING
Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer
handles. Never hold shrubs with one hand and
operate hedge trimmer with the other. Failure to heed
this warning can result in serious injury.
WARNING
TO STOP THE ENGINE IN AN EMERGENCY:
Press and hold the on/off switch in the stop " O "
position until the engine stops.
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.
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 attempt to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
■
28 mm. thick, or those obviously too large to feed into the
cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning
saw to trim large stems.
If blades do become jammed, stop the engine, allow the
■
blades to stop, remove the spark plug wire and remove the
obstruction.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
■
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Stretch a
piece of string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim
the hedge just above the 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 wear gloves when using the hedge trimmer. 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.
It has been reported that vibrations from hand-held tools
■
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
a. Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the
unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is
reported that cold weather is a major factor contributing to
Raynaud's Syndrome.
b. After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
c. Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure
per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about these
symptoms.
