Caring for your Hedgetrimmer
Cleaning (K)
1. Using a soft brush - remove debris from all
air intakes and cutting blade.
2. Wipe over surface of your hedgetrimmer
with a dry cloth.
• IMPORTANT
Never use water for cleaning your hed-
getrimmer. Do not clean with chemicals, in-
cluding petrol, or solvents - some can
destroy critical plastic parts.
Lubricating the Cutting Blade
For easier operation and longer life, lubricate the
cutter blades before and after use. Apply the oil
so that it runs between the two blades. (L).
At the end of the Cutting Season.
1. Clean your Hedgetrimmer thoroughly.
2. Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
3. Visually inspect the Hedgetrimmer for any
worn or damaged parts, contact your local
Service Centre if any parts require replace-
ment.

mer is protected from damage.

How to Use your Hedgetrimmer
1. Inspect area to be cut before each use - re-
move objects which can be thrown or be-
come entangled in the cutting blades.
2. Always keep the Hedgetrimmer in front of your
body. Hold handle firmly with both hands and
stand in a secure and stable position.
3. Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed
before entering the material to be cut.
4. Always work going away from people and
solid objects such as walls, large stones,
trees, vehicles etc.
5. If blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedgetrim-
mer and clear jammed debris from the cutting
blades. Inspect blades and repair or replace as
needed.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. (H) A slight down-
ward tilt of the cutting blades in the direction of
motion gives the best cutting results.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards (J), tapering the hedge in-
ward at the top. This shape will expose more of the
hedge, resulting in more uniformed growth.
