The safe use of this product requires an understanding of
the information on the tool and in this operator’s manual as
well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before
use of this product, familiarize yourself with all operating

GUARD
The guard helps to deflect chips or other debris away from
the operator’s hands.
ROTATING REAR HANDLE
The handle can be rotated to lock at either side in 45° or 90°
angles for ease of use when trimming. This is a handy feature
when trimming vertically or along the sides of shrubbery.

with the sharp blades when the tool is not in use. It also
helps keep the blades from being nicked or damaged when

The throttle trigger lock-out prevents unintentional starting
of the hedge trimmer blades.
