See Figure 6.
DANGER:
Nevercutnearelectriccordsorlines.Ifbladejamson
anyelectricalcordorline,DONOTTOUCHTHEBLADE!
ITCANBECOMEELECTRICALLYLIVEANDVERYDAN-
GEROUS. Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the
insulatedrearhandleorlayitdownandawayfromyou
inasafemanner.Disconnecttheelectricalservicetothe
damagedlineorcordbeforeattemptingtofreetheblade
fromthelineorcord.Contactwiththeblade,othercon-
ductivepartsofthehedgetrimmer,orliveelectriccordsor
lineswillresultindeathbyelectrocutionorseriousinjury.
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seriouspersonalinjury.
 Beforestartingthehedgetrimmer,holdtheunitwithboth
handswiththecuttingbladesdirectedawayfromyou.
Alwaysusethehedgetrimmerproperly.
 Donotforcethehedgetrimmerthroughheavyshrubbery.
Thiscancausethebladestobindandslowdown.Ifthe
bladesslowdown,reducethepace.
 Donottrytocutstemsortwigsthatarelargerthan1in.
thick,orthoseobviouslytoolargetofeedintothecutting
blade.Useanon-poweredhandsaworpruningsawto
trim large stems.
 Ifbladesdobecomejammed,stopthemotor,allowthe
bladestostopandremovethebatterypackbeforeat-
temptingtoremovetheobstruction.
 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.Trimthesideof
ahedgesothatitwillbeslightlynarroweratthetop.More
ofthehedgewillbeexposedwhenshapedthisway,and
it will be more uniform.
 Alwaysholdhedgetrimmerwithbothhandswhenoper-
ating.Useafirmgriponthehandles.Theunitisusedfor
cuttingineitherdirectioninaslow,sweepingactionfrom
side to side.
 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cuttingblade.
Oldergrowthwillhavethickerstemsandwillbetrimmed
easiestbyusingasawingmovement.
