OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with this unit to promote carelessness. Remember that a careless fraction of a

second is enough to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

If any parts are damaged or missing, do not operate the unit until the parts are replaced. Failure to heed this

warning could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection when operating this unit. Wear safety goggles, or safety

glasses with side shields, that are marked as meeting ANSI Z87.1-1989 standards. Failure to do so could result in serious

eye injury caused by thrown objects. If the operation is dusty, wear a facemask or dust mask. Use a hard hat or other type

of safety helmet.

WARNING:

Wear non-slip gloves for maximum grip and protection. Refer to the Safety Information section for

appropriate safety equipment.

PROPER GRIP ON HANDLES

• Hold the unit firmly with both hands. Always keep one hand on the front handle and the other hand on the rear handle.

• Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the motor is running. The fingers should encircle the handle and the thumb should wrap

under the handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken. Any grip in which the thumb and fingers are on the same side of the handle is

dangerous because a slight kick of the unit can cause loss of control.

• Keep hands away from the trimmer blade. Keep both hands on the handles and behind the protective guard whenever the motor is running.

PROPER CUTTING STANCE

• Balance body weight securely, with both feet on solid ground.

WORK AREA PRECAUTIONS

DANGER:

If the trimmer blade gets caught on an electrical cord or wire, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT MAY BE

ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Release the trimmer in the quickest and safest way. If possible,

disconnect the damaged electrical cord or wire from its power source. If that is not possible, call an electrician, electrical

contractor, or the power company for assistance. Failure to heed this danger warning will cause serious personal injury or

possible death.

• Keep everyone – helpers, bystanders, children and animals – at least 50 feet (15 m) away from the work area. If anyone enters the work

area, stop the unit!

• Only operate the unit when visibility and light are adequate to see clearly.

• Keep the work area clean. Do not start the operation until the work area is clear and free from obstructions. Remove all cords, lights,

wires, strings or other objects that could become entangled in the trimmer blade.

BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES

WARNING:

Do not attempt to remove cut material or hold

material to be cut while the trimmer blade is moving. Do not

grasp the trimmer blade when picking up or holding the unit.

Make sure the battery is removed and the switch lock is in the

locked or OFF position before clearing any jammed material

from the trimmer blade.

IMPORTANT: Lubricate the trimmer blade before and after each use. Ignoring

this step will decrease the life of the trimmer blade and hamper

operation. Refer to Maintenance and Repair Instructions.

• Use the hedge trimmer for trimming and forming hedges, shrubs and bushes

with a branch diameter of up to 1/2 of an inch (12.7 mm). For larger branches,

use a non-powered saw or pruning saw.

• Work slowly, while maintaining a proper grip and stance.

• Allow the unit to do the cutting. Forcing the unit through dense growth, or attempting to trim too much at one time, can cause the blade

to bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency. Forcing the unit can also result in damage to the blade and can increase the chance of

personal injury.

• When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that stems are fed directly into the trimmer blade. Older growth will have

thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing motion.

• Release the switch trigger as soon as the cut is completed. Allow the trimmer blade to come to a complete stop. Unnecessary wear

may occur if the unit is run without a cutting load.

• After completing the cut, wait for the trimmer blade to stop before moving the unit. Always stop the motor before moving from hedge to hedge.

• If desired, use a string to help cut hedges level. Determine the desired height of the hedge, then stretch a length of string along the

hedge at that height. Trim the hedge to just above the string line. Trim the side of the 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 appear more uniform.

• Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely dangerous. Leave this operation for professionals.

• Do not cut above chest height, as a hedge trimmer held higher is more difficult to control.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the unit, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop, and

remove the battery. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious personal injury or property damage.

WARNING:

To avoid possible serious injury, never touch or adjust the trimmer blade while the motor is running. The

trimmer blade is very sharp; always wear protective gloves when performing maintenance to the trimmer blade.

MAINTENANCE BASICS

Before inspecting, servicing, cleaning, storing or transporting the unit:

1. Make sure all moving parts have stopped.

2. Allow the unit to cool.

3. Remove the battery.

SHARPENING THE BLADE

The cutting blades are made from high-quality, hardened steel and with normal

usage will not require sharpening. However, if the trimmer blade accidentally hits

wire fencing, stones, glass, nails or other hard objects, the blade may become

nicked. There is no need to remove this nick unless it interferes with the

movement of the trimmer blade. If it does interfere, or if the performance of the

unit has diminished due to blade dullness, have the trimmer blade sharpened by

an authorized service center.

LUBRICATING THE BLADE

CAUTION:

Some spray-on lubricants contain solvents and

will cause some types of grease to break down. To prevent

damage to the unit, only use a high-quality machine oil.

• For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the trimmer blade before and after each use.

• During use, occasionally stop the motor, ensure that the switch lock is in the locked or OFF position, remove the battery and lubricate

the trimmer blade as needed.

1. Apply light machine oil along the edge of the top blade (Fig. 5).

WARNING:

parts. These chemicals may damage, weaken and destroy plastic, which may result in serious personal injury.
