STARTING AND STOPPING
BEFORE
STARTING
YOUR

Remove blade cover (10) as illustrated in Fig D.
TO START YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Connect to a power supply and switch on.
There are two switch levers fitted in your
trimmer (2&4).
Both switch levers need to be pressed for the
product to start. Depress and hold the front
switch lever (4) and press the rear switch lever
(2) (See Fig E).
TO STOP YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
Move hedge trimmer away from cutting area
before stopping.
To stop, release one of the switch levers (See
Fig G).
Warning: If any parts are missing,
damaged or broken, do not operate
your trimmer until all damaged parts have
been replaced or repaired. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
OPERATING THE HEDGE
TRIMMER
REAR HANDLE EXTENSION
The rear handle of the trimmer can be extended
to increase the reaching distance. To operate
this feature you need to press and hold the
extension button (5) with your thumb and pull
the rear handle (1) away from the main housing.
You can choose from 4 preset positions for the
rear handle (See Fig H).
ADJUSTING
THE
FRONT
HANDLE
POSITION
Press and hold the two buttons (6) and rotate the
front handle to the most comfortable angle. The
front handle will be locked after you release the
buttons. You can choose from 4 preset positions
for the front handle (See Fig F). Caution: Ensure
you support the weight of the hedge trimmer
before you adjust the front handle.
HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER
For normal horizontal or vertical (side) cutting,
operate using the two most forward handle
positions. Use the two most rear positions for
longer reaches with more balanced control
(See Fig H).
Note that the switch lever can be activated
on three sides, giving you many choices for
a comfortable grip. Before cutting an area,
inspect it first and remove any foreign objects
that could become thrown or entangled in the
blades. Always hold the trimmer with both
hands and with the blade away from you before
turning it on.
Always keep the power cord behind the
trimmer when in use. Do not place it over
the hedge where it may be cut.
When trimming new growth, use a wide
sweeping action so that the stems are fed
directly into the blade.
Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
