Do not force the Pole Trimmer through dense growth. A
slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting
of larger, more dense growth. If the Pole Trimmer begins
to slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you
are trying to cut. If the Pole Trimmer becomes jammed,
immediately turn Pole Trimmer off. Disconnect Pole
Trimmer from the power supply and remove the jammed
debris from the cutter blades.
Do not try to cut branches larger than 18mm in diameter.
For best results, trim the sides of hedges with an upward
sweeping motion. Trim the hedges so that the top is
slightly narrower than the bottom.
