OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal
fence or other hard objects while trimming. The
blade will break and may cause serious injury.
• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly
from a ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not
work from anything wobbly or infirm.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to cut branches thicker
than 10 mm (3/8") in diameter with the tool. Cut
branches to 10 cm (4") lower than the cutting height
using branch cutters before using the tool.

CAUTION:
• Do not cut off dead trees or similar hard objects.

► 1. String
To cut a hedge top evenly, it helps to tie a string at the
desired hedge height and to trim along it, using it as a
reference line.
Attaching the chip receiver (optional accessory) on the
tool when trimming the hedge straight can avoid cut off
leaves' being thrown away.
