ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING THE POWER SOURCE

Connecting the Power Source

1. Connect the power cord plug to the extension cord

(Fig. 1).

2. Make a narrow loop with the extension cord and

push the loop through the cord hole in the unit grip

(Fig. 2).

3.

Move the loop over and onto the cord hook and pull

the cord gently to secure the loop into the hook (Fig. 2).

This helps prevent accidental disconnection.

4. Connect the extension cord plug to the outlet.

Disconnecting the Power Source

1. Disconnect the extension cord plug from the outlet.

NOTE: DO NOT pull the cord out of the wall. Always

remove the cord from the power source by the

plug head.

2. Remove the loop in the extension cord from the cord

hook (Fig. 2).

3. Disconnect the power cord plug from the extension

cord (Fig. 1).

STARTING THE UNIT

To help prevent accidental start-ups, this unit has a

handle switch, switch lock and grip trigger switch that

must be used together to start the unit.

1. Plug the unit in. Refer to the Connecting the Power

Source.

2. Press and hold the switch lock (Fig. 3). This makes

the trigger switch operational.

3. While holding the switch lock, press and hold the

trigger switch and the handle switch.

4. Release the switch lock and continue to squeeze the

switch trigger and handle switch for continued operation.

STOPPING THE UNIT

1. Release the trigger switch.

NOTE: It is normal for the trimmer blade to coast to a stop once the switch trigger is released.

NOTE: Upon release of the switch trigger, the switch lock will automatically lock the grip trigger

switch.

MAINTENANCE

Follow all maintenance instructions in this manual.

NOTE: All service, other than the maintenance procedures described in this manual, should be

performed by an authorized service center. Do not attempt to repair; there are no user

serviceable parts inside.

Before inspecting, servicing, cleaning, storing, transporting or replacing any parts on the unit, make

sure:

1. The switches are in the OFF position.

2. All moving parts have stopped.

3. The unit is disconnected from the power source.

4. The unit is cool.

SHARPENING THE BLADE

The cutting blades are made from high-quality, hardened steel and with normal usage will not require

sharpening. However, if the trimmer blade accidentally hits wire fencing, stones, glass, nails or other

hard objects, the blade may become nicked. There is no need to remove this nick unless it interferes

with the movement of the trimmer blade. If it does interfere, or if the performance of the unit has

diminished due to blade dullness, have the trimmer blade sharpened by an authorized service center.

LUBRICATING THE BLADE

• For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate

the trimmer blade before and after each use.

• During use, occasionally stop the motor and

lubricate the trimmer blade as needed. Ensure that

the switch lock is in the locked or OFF position and

the unit is unplugged prior to lubricating the blade.

1. Apply light machine oil along the edge of the top

blade (Fig. 7).

CLEANING, STORAGE & TRANSPORTING

• When not in use, store the unit indoors in a locked and dry, or high and dry, place to prevent

unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the reach of children.

• Keep the handles dry, clean and free from debris, oil and grease. Clean the unit after each use.

Never douse or spray the unit with water or any other liquid. Do not use solvents or strong

detergents.

• Be sure to secure the unit while transporting.

BASIC OPERATING PROCEDURES

IMPORTANT: Lubricate the trimmer blade before and

after each use. Ignoring this step will decrease

the life of the trimmer blade and hamper

operation. Refer to Maintenance and Repair

Instructions.

• Use the hedge trimmer for trimming and forming

hedges, shrubs and bushes with a branch diameter

of up to 1/2 of an inch (12.7 mm). For larger

branches, use a non-powered saw or pruning saw.

• Work slowly, while maintaining a proper grip and

stance.

• Allow the unit to do the cutting. Forcing the unit through dense growth, or attempting to trim too

much at one time, can cause the blade to bind and slow, reducing the cutting effi ciency. Forcing

the unit can also result in damage to the blade and can increase the chance of personal injury.

• When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that stems are fed directly into the

trimmer blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing

motion.

• Release the switch trigger as soon as the cut is completed. Allow the trimmer blade to come to a

complete stop. Unnecessary wear may occur if the unit is run without a cutting load.

• After completing the cut, wait for the trimmer blade to stop before moving the unit. Always stop

the motor before moving from hedge to hedge.

• If desired, use a string to help cut hedges level. Determine the desired height of the hedge, then

stretch a length of string along the hedge at that height. Trim the hedge to just above the string

line. Trim the side of the hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will

be exposed when shaped this way, and it will appear more uniform.

• Do not cut from a ladder; this is extremely

dangerous.

• Do not cut above shoulder height, as a hedge

trimmer held higher is more diffi cult to control.

ROTATING THE GRIP

The unit’s grip may be rotated either to the left or right

in 45º degree increments, up to a 90º degree angle. This

is to allow for better trimming and greater control of the

unit.

1. With a fi rm grip on the handle and using the thumb

of the grip hand, pull back the grip lock.

2. Rotate the grip, either to the left or right, to the desired angle.

NOTE: The grip lock should click into place once the arrows align.

APPLICATION

• For trimming of bushes and hedges.

SAFETY INFORMATION

HOLDING THE UNIT

• Hold the unit fi rmly with both hands. Always keep

one hand on the handle and the other hand on the

grip.

• Maintain a proper grip on the unit whenever the

motor is running. The fi ngers should encircle the

handle and the thumb should wrap under the

handlebar. This grip is least likely to be broken. Any

grip in which the thumb and fi ngers are on the same

side of the handle is dangerous because a slight kick

of the unit can cause loss of control.

• Keep hands away from the trimmer blade. Keep both

hands on the handles and behind the protective guard whenever the motor is running.
