SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! When using electric hedge

trimmers, basic safety precautions

should always should be followed to reduce the

risk of ﬁre, electric shock, and personal injury,

including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Know your hedge trimmer, read and

follow all instructions. Read owner’s

manual carefully. Learn its applications and

limitations as well as the speciﬁc potential

hazards related to this tool.

2. Avoid dangerous environment. Do

not use hedge trimmers in damp or wet

locations.

3. Do not use in rain.

4. Keep children away. Do not permit

children to contact trimmer or extension

cord. All visitors should be kept at a

distance from work area.

5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. They can be caught

in moving parts. Use of protective gloves

and substantial footwear is recommended

when working outdoors. Wear protective

hair covering to contain long hair.

6. Use safety glasses. Always use face or

dust mask if operation in dusty.

7. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use

common sense. Do not operate trimmer

when you are tired.

8. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protection should be provided on the

circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for

hedge trimmer. Receptacles are available

having built-in GFCI protection and may be

used for an added measure of safety.

9. Use right appliance. Do not use appliance

for any job except for which it is intended.

10. WARNING! To reduce the risk of

electric shock, use only with an

extension cord intended for outdoor use,

such as SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-

A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A or SJTOW-

A. Make sure your extension cord is in

good condition. When using an extension

cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to

carry the current your product will draw.

An undersized extension cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of

power and overheating. Table 1 shows

the correct size to use depending on cord

length and nameplate ampere rating. If

in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The

smaller the gage number, the heavier the

cord. To reduce the risk of disconnection

of hedge trimmer cord from the extension

cord during operating:

Table 1 Minimum gauge for extension

cords

Figure 2 Method of securing cord set

11. When operating your hedge trimmer.

Keep extension cord behind the hedge

trimmer. Never drape it over hedge being

trimmed.

12. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not

carry plugged-in hedge trimmer with

ﬁnger on switch.

13. Use trimmer properly. Use only for

described in the operating instructions. Do

not use on ladder.

14. Danger: Risk of cut-Keep hands away

from blades, keep both hands on

handles when power in on.

15. Warning! Blades still coast

after trimmer is turned off. Do

not attempt to remove cut material nor

hold cut material to be cut when blades

are moving. Make sure trimmer switch is

off when clearing jammed material from

blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting

blades or cutting edges when picking up or

holding the hedge trimmer.

16. Do not force your hedge trimmer. It will

do the job better and with less risk of injury

at the rate for which it was designed.

17. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times.

18. Disconnect your hedge trimmer.

Disconnect the hedge trimmer from the

power supply when not in use, before

20. Maintain hedge trimmer with care.

Keep cutting edge sharp and clean for

best performance and to reduce the

risk of injury. Follow instructions for

lubricating blades. Inspect hedge trimmer

cord periodically, and if damaged, have it

repaired by an authorized service facility.

Inspect extension cords periodically and

replace if damaged. Keep handles dry,

clean, and free of oil and grease.

21. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas

and benches invite accidents.

22. Never use in an explosive atmosphere.

Normal sparking of the motor could ignite

fumes.

23. Check damaged parts. Before further

use of the hedge trimmer, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully

checked to determine that it will operate

properly and perform its intend function.

Check for alignment of moving parts,

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,

mounting, and any other condition that

may affect its operation. A guard or other

part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced by an authorized

service center unless indicated elsewhere

in this manual.

24. Don’t abuse cord. Never carry hedge

trimmer by the cord or yank it to disconnect

from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil

before you adjust the front handle.

HOW TO USE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

For normal horizontal or vertical (side) cutting,

operate using the two most forward handle

positions. Use the two most rear positions for

longer reaches with more balanced control

(See Fig H).

Note that the switch lever can be activated

on three sides, giving you many choices for

a comfortable grip. Before cutting an area,

inspect it ﬁrst and remove any foreign objects

that could become thrown or entangled in the

blades. Always hold the trimmer with both

hands and with the blade away from you before

turning it on.

Always keep the power cord behind the

trimmer when in use. Do not place it over

the hedge where it may be cut.

When trimming new growth, use a wide

sweeping action so that the stems are fed

directly into the blade.

Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed

cutting blade.

Wipe the surface with a dry cloth.

Warning:

Never use water for cleaning your

trimmer. Do not clean with chemicals, including

gasoline, or solvents as this can damage your

trimmer.

LUBRICATING THE CUTTING BLADE

For easier operation and longer life, lubricate

the cutting blades before and after each use.

Before lubricating, make sure your trimmer is

disconnected from the power supply. Apply oil

between the two blades (See Fig K).

Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected

and oiled occasionally during use.

AT THE END OF THE CUTTING SEASON

Clean your trimmer thoroughly.

Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.

Visually inspect the trimmer for any worn or

damaged parts.

TO STORE YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER

The trimmer blade cover holder is provided

with 2 hanging slots for storing the trimmer

on the wall. (See Fig L) Ensure the blade cover

holder is ﬁtted before storage. Store in a dry

place where your trimmer can be protected

from damage.

WARRANTY STATEMENT

30 DAY Satisfaction Guarantee

If for any reason you are dissatisﬁed with any

WORX product, you can return the product,

along with proof of purchase, within 30 days

for a full refund.

If your WORX product becomes defective due

to faulty materials or workmanship within the

speciﬁed warranty period of;

• 24 months for DIY and light trade use, from

the date of purchase.

We guarantee to repair or replace all defective

parts free of charge, repair products subject

before entering the material to be cut.

Always work going away from people and

solid objects such as walls, large stones, trees,

vehicles etc.

If the blade stalls, immediately stop the Hedge

trimmer. Disconnect the hedge trimmer from

the power supply and clear the jammed debris

from the cutting blades.

Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly

growth.

Move the hedge trimmer to feed the branches

directly into the blade cutting edges.

Do not try to cut stems that are too large to feed

into the cutting blade.

Allow the cutting blades to reach full speed

before cutting. When operating, keep the

cutting blades away from people and objects

such as walls, large stones, trees, vehicles, etc.

If the blade stalls, immediately stop the

trimmer. Disconnect from the power supply

before attempting to clear jammed debris from

the cutting blades.

TOP CUTTING

Use a wide sweeping motion (See Fig I). A

slight downward 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 (See Fig J),

tapering the hedge inward at the top. This

shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting

in a more uniformed growth.

Warning: Check the extension cord

before using. If damaged, replace

immediately. Never use your tool with

a damaged cord, as this could cause

electrical shock and result in serious

injury.

If the supply cord is damaged, it should be

replaced by an approved service center.
