Adjusting Cutter Assembly for    

Storage or Transportation

NOTE:

The AHS510 Articulated hedge trimmer is 

equipped with a travel limiter that prevents 

the cutter assembly from rotating outside of 

the 90°- 5° range. See Figures 7 and 8.

WARNING!

 The cutter blades are very sharp.

Do not grasp the blades with your

hands. Do not allow the blades to

contact your body.

IMPORTANT!

Always use gloves when working near the

cutter assembly.

1.  With your right hand, grasp the outer 

tube near the handle. With your left 

hand, grip the adjustment lever on the 

cutter assembly. See Figure 5.

IMPORTANT!

The latch lock provides an interlock to

help prevent inadvertent depression of

the latch release.

.  With the index finger of your left 

hand, press the latch lock. With your 

left thumb, press the latch release.                

See Figure 6.

3.  While holding the latch release down, 

pivot the cutter assembly using the 

adjustment lever until it is at the desired 

cutting angle.
