table shows the correct size to use depending on corn length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The
smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

reduce the load.
Tomake acloser cut, slightlytilt thetool.
Spray thebladewith alightcoatingof
general purposeoil beforefirst useand
wheneverthe bladesbeginto lookdry.
Trimming hedges
± CAUTION: Blades coast after turn o.,
Slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) sothat the blade
tips point slightly towards the hedge ,r=_ \f_-. _
(fig.H). This willcause the blades to
cut more effectively.
Start by trimming the top of the hedge. \
Hold the tool at the desired angle and "
move it steadily along the lineof cut.
The double-sided blade allows you to /'
cut in either direction.
Inorder to obtain a very straight cut,
stretch a piece of string along the
length of the hedge at the desired
hei(jht. Use the st-ringas a guide line,
cutting just above it.
Inorder to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the growth (fig. I).
Younger stems move outwards when the blade cuts downwards,
causing shallow patches in the hedge. A
