6 I Chapter 3: Trimmer Operation

Trimming a Hedge

Use the tri miner properly:Always wear eye

protection, rubber gloves, and substantial

foot wear while using the trimmer (see

Figure 3-9). Always mai ntai n proper foot-

ing and balance. Never overreach when

using tri miner. Before starting the tri miner,

hold the unit with both hands on the grip

areas. Make sure that the cutter blade is

not touching anything.

Always keep the extension cord behind

the trimmer when in use. Do not drape

the cord over the hedge where it may be

cut by the blades (see Figure 3-10).

Use smooth steady sweeping motions to

trim new growth (see Figure 3-11). Do

not try to cut too much at one time. This

can cause the trimmer to slow down or get

jammed, reducing the cutting efficiency.

Do not force the trimmer through dense

growth. A slight back and forth sawing

action may ease the cutting of larger, more

dense growth.If the trimmer begins to slow

down, reduce the rate of speed at which

you are trying to cut.

If the tri miner becomes jammed, immedi-

atelyturn trimmer off.Disconnect trimmer

from the power supply and remove the

jammed debris from the cutter blades.

Do not try to cut branches larger than

3/4 inch in diameter.

For best results, trim the sides of hedges

with an upward sweeping motion (see Fig-

ure 3-12). Cut from the bottom and work

your way up. This will keep cut material

from falling into areas not yet cut.

Trim the hedges so that the top is slightly

narrower than the bottom.

To trim extremelyleve] hedges,use a string

stretched along the length of the hedge as

a guide (See Figure 3-13).
