Switching your hedgetrimmer on

For your safety, your hedgetrimmer is fitted

with the handle trigger switch (3) which has a

lock-off switch (4) to prevent inadvertent

switching on.

• Squeeze the front handle switch (2).

• Push the lock-off switch (4) forward with

your thumb and squeeze the trigger

switch (3) to start your hedgetrimmer.

• The lock-off switch can then be released

once the trigger switch (3) has been

squeezed.

Switching your hedgetrimmer off

• By releasing the front handle switch (2) or

the handle trigger switch (3) your

hedgetrimmer will stop immediately.

Cutting techniques for better results

(Fig. E)

• The blades will cut most effectively when

they are not exactly parallel with the line

of cut, but have the tips of the blades

pointing slightly towards the hedge. This

lateral tilt should not exceed 15˚ to the

line of cut.

• Most users trim the top of the hedge

first. Hold your hedgetrimmer at the

desired angle and move it steadily along

the line of cut. The double edged blade

enables you to cut in either direction or

with a side to side movement.

• For a very level finish a piece of string

can be stretched along the length of the

hedge at the required height to serve as

a guide line. The hedge may then be cut

just above the string.

• To keep the sides of the hedge flat, it is

better to cut upwards with the growth.

Younger stems move outwards when the

blade cuts downwards and can cause

shallow patches in the hedge.

• Take care to avoid hard objects such as

wire which could cause damage to the

cutting blades.

If your hedgetrimmer stalls, release the

trigger immediately. Stalling will reduce

cutting time and should be avoided. Before

removing obstructions from the blades

always remove the energy pack to prevent

inadvertent operation.

Remember that your hedgetrimmer is also

suitable for trimming most shrubs, brambles

or any neglected areas within your garden.

• For best performance, keep the blades and air

slots in the motor housing clean. Use a cloth or

brush to remove cutting, sap or other debris.

• Prevent the blades from rusting by applying a film

of light machine oil after cleaning.

• Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a non

abrasive cleaner and a cloth dampened with

warm water.
