2.  To power ON, push and hold the safety lock button with 

your thumb, while pressing the ON/OFF trigger switch 

with your forefinger. Once the trigger switch engages, 

you can release the safety lock button and proceed with

starting. 

3.  To power OFF, simply release the ON/OFF trigger switch

CAUTION!

 Do not force the blades through dense 

growth. If the blades slow down, then reduce your cutting 

pace. Should the blades jam, release the trigger immediately. 

Do not use your fingers to free up jammed blades. 

Jammed blades can release suddenly causing serious injury.

CAUTION! 

Always ensure proper footing and balance 

in a clean and clear work environment before switching on the 

cordless hedge trimmer.

Trimming Tips

NOTE: Try to keep the cutting device angled at approximately 

15° to the cutting surface (Fig. 10).

1. 

Shaping –

 A hedge should be trimmed to achieve a 

trapezoidal form; it should widen toward the bottom on 

both sides. Shaping a hedge in this manner improves the 

penetration of light to the lower extremities. A general 

guideline is to slant the hedge approximately 4 in. (10 cm) 

for each 39 in. (1 m) of hedge height.

2. 

Cutting Sequence – 

First cut both sides; start at the 

bottom and work towards the top. This prevents cuttings 

from falling into an area that you have yet to trim.

3. 

Trimming the Top – Where the branches have grown 

extremely long, cut back the hedge in several stages.  

The shorter cuttings obtained are best suited for 

composting.

4. 

Pruning Thick Branches – When older hedges are to be 

cut a substantial amount, use pruning shears or some 

other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 0.3 in. 

[8 mm] in diameter) to the desired length before starting 

work with the hedge trimmer.

  To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme 

edges of the hedge and then trim along the length of the 

line.

  Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with 

any object made of hard material that could damage it, 

such as fencing wire or metallic plant supports.

Maintenance

m

WARNING! 

Always switch the product off and let the 

product cool down before performing inspection, maintenance 

and cleaning work. 

1.  Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times.  

If possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.

2.  If the enclosure of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not 

use solvents to clean it. Only use a moistened soft cloth. 

Never let any liquid get inside the tool; and never immerse 

any part of the tool into a liquid. 

3.  The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with light 

machine oil or spray lubricant (such as WD40, CRC 5.56 

or RP7) after each use. When a job lasts for a long period 

of time, it is recommended that the blade rail also be 

treated with spray lubricant at regular intervals during 

operation. 

4.  Inspect the product before each use for worn and 

damaged parts. Do not operate it if you find broken and 

worn parts.
