## Required PPE
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
- Sturdy gloves
|
||||
- Steel-capped boots
|
||||
- Long sleeves
|
||||
|
||||
## Pre-Use Checks
|
||||
|
||||
1. Check fuel/battery/power
|
||||
2. Inspect blades for damage or debris
|
||||
3. Check blade guard and handles
|
||||
4. Test safety switch/trigger
|
||||
5. Lubricate blades if needed
|
||||
|
||||
## Safe Operation
|
||||
|
||||
### General Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep both hands on handles at all times
|
||||
- Never cut above shoulder height without proper support
|
||||
- Keep blade away from body
|
||||
- Watch for hidden hazards in hedges (wire, posts, nests)
|
||||
- Keep cord behind you (electric models)
|
||||
|
||||
### Cutting Technique
|
||||
|
||||
- Start from bottom, work up
|
||||
- Use sweeping motion along hedge face
|
||||
- Keep blade at slight angle for flat top
|
||||
- Make multiple light passes rather than forcing through thick growth
|
||||
- For sides, angle blade slightly upward
|
||||
|
||||
> [!tip] Clean Cuts
|
||||
> Sharp blades make cleaner cuts and reduce plant stress. Dull blades tear and damage plants.
|
||||
|
||||
### Working at Height
|
||||
|
||||
> [!warning] Ladder Safety
|
||||
> If using a ladder, have someone hold it steady. Consider using a pole hedge trimmer for high hedges instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## After Use
|
||||
|
||||
1. Turn off and disconnect power
|
||||
2. Clean blades of sap and debris
|
||||
3. Wipe blades with oily rag
|
||||
4. Check for blade damage
|
||||
5. Store with blade guard
|
||||
|
||||
## Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
| Task | Frequency |
|
||||
|------|-----------|
|
||||
| Clean blades | After each use |
|
||||
| Lubricate blades | After each use |
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|
||||

|
||||
