How to Use  
M
How to Use your Hedgetrimmer  
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use -  
remove objects which can be thrown or  
become entangled in the cutting blades.  
2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your  
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and  
stand in a secure and stable position.  
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed  
before entering the material to be cut.  
4. Always work going away from people and solid  
objects such as walls, large stones, trees,  
vehicles etc.  
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the  
Hedgetrimmer. Disconnect the Hedgetrimmer  
from the power source and clear jammed  
debris from the cutting blades. Inspect blades  
and repair or replace as needed.  
N
Top Cutting  
Use a wide sweeping motion. (M) A slight down-  
ward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of  
motion gives the best cutting results.  
Side Cutting  
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the  
bottom and cut upwards (N), tapering the hedge  
inward at the top. This shape will expose more of the  
hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.  
Caring for your Hedgetrimmer  
P
WARNING

ply, before attempting any maintenance or  
adjustment.  
Cleaning (P)

Never use water for cleaning your hed-  
getrimmer. Do not clean with chemicals,  
including petrol, or solvents - some can

Lubricating the Cutting Blade  
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the  
cutter blades before and after use. Apply the oil  
so that it runs between the two blades. (R).
