Cutting Procedures
m
WARNING!
Never cut near electric cords or power
lines. If the blade jams on any electrical cable, DO NOT
TOUCH THE BLADE. IT CAN CONDUCT ELECTRICITY
AND FATALLY SHOCK YOU! Instead, continue to hold the
hedge trimmer by the insulated rear handle, and lay it down
and away from you in a safe manner. Make sure that electrical
service to the damaged electrical cable is disconnected before
attempting to free the hedge trimmer blade. Contacting with
the blades, other conductive parts of the hedge trimmer,
or live electric cords or power lines will result in death by
electrocution or serious injury.
m
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 electric shock and serious personal injury.
• Before starting the hedge trimmer, maintain proper footing
and balance. Do not overreach. Wear safety goggles, non-
skid footwear and rubber gloves. Hold the unit with both
hands with the cutting blades directed away from you.
Always use the hedge trimmer properly.
• Do not cut too much at one time. This can cause the blades
to bind, which will reduce the cutting efficiency.
• Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubs. This
can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades
slow down, reduce the pace of your work.
• When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action,
so the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older
growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easily by
using a sawing movement.
• Always cut stems or twigs that are less than 0.7 inch
(1.8 cm) thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning
saw to trim large stems.
Horizontal Cut
To perform a horizontal cut, hold the hedge trimmer with the
blade tilted 5-10 degrees to your cutting object; this makes
the operation easier and ensures a better cut. Use a string as
a guide of the desired hedge level. Trim the hedge just above
this guide line. (Fig. 8).

Vertical Cut
To perform a vertical cut, start trimming at the bottom and
sweep up for even cutting. Swing the blades in an arc towards
the outsides of the hedge so that the cuttings are swept on the
ground (Fig. 9).
