Gtech HT05, Instruction Manual

Cutting with your trimmer

Hold the trimmer away from the body using both hands. Stand in a secure and 

stable position.

The double edge blade enables cutting with either a side to side or up and down 

action.

Before cutting, check the hedge for any objects such as wire fences that could 

damage or jam the trimmer blade.

When cutting move slowly and steadily along the line of cut so that stems are fed 

directly into the blades. 

Cut the sides of the hedge first then the top. To keep the sides of the hedge flat 

cutting upwards with the growth is recommended. To achieve a level finish, fasten 

a piece of string along the length of the hedge and use a a guide to give an even 

cut.

Take care not to cut objects such as wire that may be hidden in the hedge as this 

could cause damage to the cutting blades and drive mechanism.

Take care not to overload the trimmer. Attempting to force the trimmer to cut may 

damage the motor. To prevent overloading check to see if the hedge is very thick 

or dense and to reduce load on thte motor cut long or thick hedges in stages with 

several light cuts.

NOTE: the trimmer is fitted with a self-resetting protective cut-out. This will 

stop the trimmer if the motor becomes overloaded.

If this occurs, wait a few seconds for the cut-out to reset and then use 

lighter cuts.
