1. Tighten screw securely with a flat blade screwdriver.

Operation

Features

Before attempting to use your hedge trimmer, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements.

Electrical Connection

Your hedge trimmer has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60Hz , AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A voltage drop of more than 10 percent will cause a loss of power and overheating. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

Lock-off Button

Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a "lock-off button" that reduces the possibility of accidental starting. You must depress the button located on top

of the handle in order to be able to pull the switch trigger (Fig. 3). The lock resets each time the trigger is released.

Switch

To turn your hedge trimmer "ON", depress and hold the "lock-off" button, pull the switch trigger, then release the "lock-off" button. Release the switch trigger to turn your hedge trimmer "OFF" (Fig. 3).

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• If switch trigger is depressed in the "ON" position and the trimmer is plugged into a power supply source, trimmer will be running.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Accidental starting of your trimmer could result in serious personal injury.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Before connecting your hedge trimmer to power supply source, always make sure you do not have the switch trigger depressed in the "ON" position.

Extension Cord Retainer

An extension cord retainer has been provided to prevent extension cord from becoming disconnected from your trimmer during use. It is molded into the switch handle of your hedge trimmer. Plug extension cord into switch handle, then snugly fit cord into retainer as shown in Figure 4.

Extension cord retainer works only with 16 A.W.G. extension cords. When using 14 A.W.G. extension cords the cord will be tight in extension cord retainer. We suggest an alternate method as shown in Figure 5 for securing 14 A.W.G. extension cords.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• Trimmer could operate improperly if any parts are missing, damaged or broken.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• An improperly operating trimmer could cause serious personal injury.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• If any parts are missing, damaged, or broken, do not operate your trimmer until they have been replaced.

Preparing For Operation

For ease of operation your hedge trimmer has both a front handle and a rear handle (Fig. 6).

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• If front handle is not installed, trimmer could be operated with only one hand.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Operating trimmer with only one hand could cause serious personal injury.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Check the front handle before each use. Make sure it is securely fastened to your hedge trimmer before using.

For your protection there is a blade guard between the front handle and the blade.

DO NOT OPERATE IF BLADE GUARD BECOMES BROKEN OR DAMAGED.

When using your hedge trimmer, hold it with both hands as shown in Figure 6.

DO NOT USE BLADE GUARD AS A GRIPPING SURFACE.

Trimming A Hedge

1. USE TRIMMER PROPERLY. Hold the trimmer with both hands and with the cutter blade away from you BEFORE turning the switch on (Fig. 7).

2. Push the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger.

Note: Lock-off button is located on top of the handle (Fig. 3).

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• When trimmer is in operation, sharp parts are moving.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Any part of body coming in contact with moving parts could result in serious personal injury.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.

• Always keep cord behind your hedge trimmer when in use. Do not place it over the hedge where it may be cut by the blade.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• Extension cord can be damaged by moving blade.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Touching the damaged area on an extension cord could cause electrical shock resulting in serious personal injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Never use tool with a damaged cord.
• Replace a damaged cord immediately.

DANGER

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• If blade jams on the extension cord, do not touch the blade!

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Blade can become electrically charged and very dangerous! Contact with charged blade could cause serious personal injury or death.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Continue to hold your trimmer by the insulated handles and immediately unplug extension cord from power supply.

• Do not try to trim hedges which are above your normal reach. You must hold trimmer with both hands at all times while operating.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

• Trimmer is operational when plugged into a power supply source. Someone could accidentally start the trimmer.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

• Accidental starting of your trimmer could result in serious personal injury.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

• Disconnect your trimmer from power supply and carry by the front handle when not in use.

Trimming Techniques

• If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string (Fig. 7).

• Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top as shown in Figure 8. More of the hedge will be exposed to light when shaped this way and its growth will be more uniform.

• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
• When trimming new growth, use a wide, sweeping action so that the stems are fed directly into the cutter blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
• Do not try to cut stems that are larger than 3/8 in. thick or those obviously too large to feed into the cutter blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to cut the larger stems.

Maintenance
