Basic hedge trimming operation
Pulling the throttle trigger after the engine is started will cause
the engine speed to rise and the cutter blades to start moving.
Adjust the engine speed depending on, for example, the
amount of the hedges to be cut.
Conduct cutting work with the cutter blades positioned away
from you. Do not orient the cutter blades toward yourself or put
it closer to yourself.
When cutting the top of the hedges or shrubs, do so by moving
the cutter blades from side to side. Tidy trimming will be made
possible by moving the blades slightly cast down.
When cutting sides, do so by moving the cutter blades in the
bottom-up direction for tidy trimming.
Do not press the cutter blades against the objects like trees.
Operate the product in accordance with the movement and the
speed of the cutter blades.
Releasing the throttle decreases engine speed, causing the
cutters to slow, and then stop altogether as the clutch disen-
gages.
Avoid cutting material larger than 1.27 cm in diameter.
