OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATING Adjust the angle of the trimmer to suit the area you are trimming; adjust the blade angle based on the situation. Adjust the blade as follows: 1. Grasp the adjustment bolt (Fig. 4) and turn counterclockwise to unscrew the bolt from the hole in the indexing ring. OPERATING TIPS • To trim new growth, use a wide sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth through the hedge or twigs. The most effective cutting is achieved with a slight downward tilt of the blade. .•Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth. When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping action, so that the stems are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement. • Do not try to cut stems that are larger than 7/16 inches (11 mm) thick. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to trim large stems. • If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and be more uniform (Fig. 5). • To trim the sides of hedges, hold the hedge trimmer at the bottom and sweep upwards. Fig. 4 Fig. 5 2.
