Trimminglnstructions
1. WORKING POSITION - Maintain proper footing and balance
and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear
and gloves when trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands
and turn the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in the
illustrations in this manual, with one hand on the switch handle
and one hand on the pole. Never hold the tool by the hand guard.
2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH - A wide, sweeping motion, feeding
the blade teeth through the twigs is most effective. A slight
downward tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion gives the
best cutting. Do not cut stems greater than 3/8" (10mm). Use the
trimmer only for cutting normal shrubbery around houses and
buildings.
3. LEVEL HEDGES - To obtain exceptionally level hedges
a piece of string can be stretched along the length of the hedge
as a guide.
4. SIDE-TRIMMING HEDGES - Begin at the bottom and sweep up.
