How to use

Before operating, ensure the hedge trimmer is connected to a suitable mains supply and that the power cord and plug are undamaged. Hold the tool with both hands using the main and auxiliary handles, keeping the cutting blades away from the body. Start trimming by making slow, steady passes along the hedge, using sweeping motions to achieve an even finish. Allow the blades to cut through branches without forcing the tool; if larger branches are present, reduce their diameter beforehand with appropriate pruning tools. After use, disconnect from power and clean debris from the blades using a brush or cloth, taking care to avoid contact with the sharp edges.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and sturdy footwear when operating the trimmer. Keep bystanders and pets at a safe distance. For best results, trim when foliage is dry and perform regular blade maintenance to maintain cutting performance.
