WARNING: CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This product and some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals, including lead, known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
HEDGE TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
• Use both hands when operating the hedge trimmer.
Using one hand could cause loss of
control and result in serious personal injury.
• Keep all parts of the body away from the cutter blade.
Do not remove cut material or
hold material to be cut when blades are moving. Make sure the switch is off when clearing
jammed material. Blades coast after turn-off. A moment of inattention while operating the
hedge trimmer may result in serious personal injury.
• Carry the hedge trimmer by the handle with the cutter blade stopped.
Proper handling
of the hedge trimmer will reduce possible personal injury from the cutter blades.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter blade
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutter blades contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric
shock.
• Keep cable away from cutting area.
During operation the cable may be hidden in shrubs
and can be accidentally cut by the blade.
• DANGER – Keep hands away from blade.
Contact with blade will result in serious
personal injury.

DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need
for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the
internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double-insulated tools do not
need to be grounded.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply
that is 120 V, AC only, (normal household current) 60 Hz. Do not operate this product on direct
current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.
If the product does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
!
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system
and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. For service, we suggest you return the
product to your nearest authorized service center for
repair. Always use original factory replacement parts
when servicing.
!
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to
protect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electrical shock.

Electrical
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an
extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart
to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product, use an extension cord that is designed for outside
use. This type of cord is designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket. Before using any
extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.
A proper extension cord is available at an authorized service centre.
It is possible to tie the extension cord and power cord in a knot to prevent them from becoming
disconnected during use. Make the knot as shown in Fig. 1, then connect the plug end of the
power cord into the receptacle end of the extension cord. This method can also be used to tie
two extension cords together.
!
WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If
damaged replace immediately. Never use the product with
a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could
cause electric shock resulting in serious injury.
!
WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the working
area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on
lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working
with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.

Operation
CUTTING TIPS
• When operating the hedge trimmer, keep the extension cord behind the trimmer. Never
drape it over the hedge being trimmed.
• Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to
bind and slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
• Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs that are thicker than 2/3” (17 mm), or those obviously
too large to feed into the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or pruning saw to
trim large stems.
• If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to stop, and disconnect the
plug from the power source before attempting to remove the obstruction.
• If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge level. Decide how high you want the
hedge. Stretch a piece of string along the hedge at the desired height. Trim the hedge just
above the 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 it will be more
uniform.
• 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.
The unit is used for cutting in either direction in a slow, sweeping action from side to side.
• Stand so that you are stable and balanced on both feet. Do not overreach.
• Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
• Never use the hedge trimmer near power lines, fencing, posts, buildings, or other
immovable objects.
• Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first inspecting it for damage. Do not
use if any damage is detected.
• Never touch blades or service unit with the power supply connected.
!
WARNING: Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose
string which can become entangled in the cutting blade
and create a risk of serious personal injury.
!
WARNING: Always keep both hands on the hedge trimmer
handles. Never hold shrubs with one hand and operate
hedge trimmer with the other. Failure to heed this warning
can result in serious injury.
!
WARNING: Read the safety information for safe operation
using the blade. Extreme care must be taken when using
blades to ensure safe operation. Refer to General Safety
Rules and Specific Safety Rules.
