mer and fix with screws (B)

• TRIMMING
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
EXTENSION CORD.
Always keep extension cord
behind trimmer and away from the trimming
operation. Never drape it over a hedge being
trimmed. If you cut or damage the cord, unplug it at
the electrical outlet immediately, before inspecting
or repairing cord.
2.
WORKING POSITION.
Maintain proper footing and
balance and do not overreach. Wear safety
goggles, non-skid footwear and rubber gloves when
trimming. Hold the tool firmly in both hands and turn
the tool ON. Always hold the trimmer, as shown in
the illustrations, with one hand on the body handle
and one hand on the front handle. Never hold the
tool by the blade guard.
3.
TRIMMING NEW GROWTH.
A wide, sweeping
motion, feeding the blade teeth through the twigs is
most effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade, in
the direction of motion gives the best cutting. (Fig. 4)
4.
LEVEL HEDGES.
To obtain exceptionally level
hedges, a piece of string can be stretched along the
length of the hedge as a guide.
5.
SIDE-TRIMMING HEDGES.
Hold the trimmer as
shown and begin at the bottom and sweep up. (Fig. 5)
