OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal
fence or other hard objects while trimming. The
blade will break and may cause serious injury.
•
Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly
from a ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not
work from anything wobbly or infirm.

Failure to do so may damage the tool.

Hold the trimmer with both hands and pull the switch
trigger A or B and then move it in front of your body.

As a basic operation, tilt the blades towards the
trimming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the
speed rate of 3 - 4 seconds per meter.
