OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TO TURN YOUR HEDGE TRIMMER ON
A
WARNING: Before connecting your hedge
trimmer to power supply source, always
check to be sure it is not in lock-on position
(depress and release the switch trigger).
Failure to do so could result in accidental
starting of your trimmer resulting in possible
serious injury. Also, do not lock the trigger on
jobs where your trimmer may need to be
stopped suddenly.
Lock-Off Button
Your hedge trimmer is equipped with a lock-off button,
that reduces the possibility of accidental starting.
1. Slide the lock-off button forward (Fig. 3).
2. Depress and hold the switch trigger.
3. Release the lock-off button.
NOTE: The lock-off button is located on top of the
handle. The lock resets each time the switch
trigger is released.
LOCK-ON FEATURE
Your hedge trimmer is also equipped with a lock-on
feature, which is convenient when continuous trimming
for extended periods of time is required.
To Lock-On
1. Slide the lock-off button forward (Fig. 4).
2. Depress and hold the switch trigger.
3. Release the lock-off button.
4. Pull lock-on tab back with your thumb and hold.
5. Release switch trigger, then release lock-on tab.
To Release the Lock-On
1. Depress the switch trigger and release it.
If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and
your hedge trimmer becomes disconnected from power
supply, disengage the lock-on feature immediately.
EXTENSION CORD RETAINER
An extension cord retainer has been provided to prevent
extension cord from becoming disconnected from your
trimmer during use. It is molded into the switch handle of
your hedge trimmer. Plug extension cord into plug
recess below switch handle, then snugly fit cord into
retainer as shown in Figure 5.
Extension cord retainer works best with 16 A.W.G.
extension cords. When using 14 A.W.G. extension
cords the cord may be tight in extension cord retainer.
We suggest an alternate method as shown in figure 5 for
securing tight extension cords.
