before it is completely assembled.

Assembling the Tool
The telescoping pole and trimmer head come unassembled.
Before using the pole hedge trimmer, an easy assembly is
required.
1. Align the telescoping pole with the trimmer head.
2. Insert the telescoping pole into the trimmer head locking
base until the lock holes click into place (Fig. 1).
NOTE: The grooves must be aligned with the arrow
positions near the locking base.
3. Slide the locking knob onto the locking base and rotate
the locking knob clockwise to secure (Fig. 2).
4. Make sure the rear handle is properly aligned with the
blade.
mWARNING! Make sure the telescoping pole is inserted
to a full stop and the locking knob is properly tightened before
using the pole hedge trimmer.
mWARNING! Failure to lock the telescoping pole as
directed above could result in serious injury or death.
Attaching the Shoulder Strap
mWARNING! Always attach the shoulder strap to the
pole hedge trimmer. Use the shoulder strap to help support the
trimmer while in use; do not carry the pole hedge trimmer with
only your hands.
1. Wear the shoulder strap over the left shoulder so that the
hook stays at your right hand side.
2. Fasten the carabiner hook to the bracket on the pole
(Fig. 3).
3. Adjust the length of the strap to attain a comfortable
working position.
