. Depress and hold the Front

Switch Lever (3) and press the Rear Switch Lever (2)
(See Fig. E).

TO STOP YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

Move Hedge trimmer away from cutting area before
stopping.

, release one of the switch levers (See Fig. F).

WARNING:

If any parts are missing,

damaged or broken, do not operate your
Hedge trimmer until all damaged parts have

been replaced or repaired. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury. DO NOT USE
WITHOUT HANDLE AND GUARD.

5. HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

Inspect the area to be cut before each use, remove
objects which can be thrown or become entangled
in the cutting blades.
Always hold the Hedge trimmer with both hands
and with the blade away from you before turning
it on.

Always keep the power cord behind the

Hedge trimmer when in use. Do not place it

over the hedge that you are trimming where it

may be cut by the blade.

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 before
entering the material to be cut.
Always work going away from people and solid

objects such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles
etc.
If the blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge
trimmer. Disconnect the Hedge trimmer from the
mains and clear the jammed debris from the cutting
blades.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth.
Move the Hedge trimmer to feed the branches
directly into the blade cutting edges.
Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed
into the cutting blade.

TOP CUTTING (See Fig. G)

Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt
of the cutting blades in the direction of motion gives
the best cutting results.

SIDE CUTTING (See Fig. H)

When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards, tapering the hedge inward
at the top. This shape will expose more of the
hedge, resulting in a more uniformed growth.

WARNING:

Check extension cords before

each use. If damaged replace immediately.
Never use your tool with a damaged cord

since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
If the supply cord is damaged, it should be replaced
by a local approved Service Centre.
Take care not to expose this tool to rain.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Disconnect from mains electrics supply. Using a soft
brush-remove debris from all air intakes and cutting
blade.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary,
this has to be done by the manufacturer or his
agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
Wipe over surface of your Hedge trimmer with a
dry cloth.

WARNING!

Never use water for cleaning

your Hedge trimmer. Do not clean with
chemicals, including petrol, or solvents as

this can damage your hedge trimmer.

LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE

For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the
cutting blades before and after each use. Before
lubricating, make sure your Hedge trimmer is
disconnected from the mains electricity supply.
Apply the oil so that it runs between the two blades
(See Fig. I).
Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected and
oiled occasionally during use.
