TRIMMING  

See Figures 8-10, page iii
■ Using a pruning tool to cut and remove 

branches exceeding the cutting width 

capacity of this product of 9/16 inch before 

operation.
■ Move the hedge trimmer lightly through 

the cutting surface in a sweeping motion 

following the shape of the hedge or shrub.
■ A slight tilt downwards of the hedge trimmer 

in the direction of motion is recommended for 

optimum cutting performance.
■ Do not rush and do not attempt to cut too 

much with one stroke of the hedge trimmer.
■ First cut both sides of the hedge from the 

bottom cutting upwards to the top. This will 

prevent any of the trimmings falling into the 

path of the area still to be cut. (Fig. 8)
■ After cutting the hedge sides proceed to the 

top. (Fig. 9)
■ To store hedge trimmer, remove battery 

pack from unit and use the convenient 

protective tip to hang your hedge trimmer out 

of the way until next use. (Fig. 10)

   

To avoid injury and to 

reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire:
■ Replace the battery pack or charger 

immediately if the battery case or charger 

cord is damaged.
■ Always make sure the hedge trimmer 

switch is OFF before inserting or removing 

the battery pack.
■ Always make sure the battery pack is 

removed and the switch turned OFF, before 

inspecting, adjusting, or maintaining any 

other part of the hedge trimmer.
■ Read, understand, and follow the Battery 

Charger instructions.

 

  

 To avoid personal injury:

■ Handle the blade with care.
■ Do not place your fingers or hand between 

the notches in the blade or in any position 

where they could get pinched or cut.
■ Never service the blade or hedge trimmer 

unless the battery pack is removed.
■ Do not use if the blade assembly is 

damaged or bent. Take trimmer to a qualified 

service dealer for blade replacement using 

identical parts as specified in the Parts List of 

this manual.
■ Always keep both hands on the hedge 

trimmer handles to prevent your hand from 

touching the blade.
