- Horizontal Cutting: For the top of hedges, hold the trimmer horizontally and sweep across the top in smooth, even strokes.
- Vertical Cutting: For the sides of hedges, hold the trimmer vertically and sweep upwards or downwards, maintaining a slight angle for a clean finish.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not force the trimmer through thick branches. If the blade slows down, reduce the cutting load.
- Clean Cuts: Use the full length of the blade for efficient cutting.

- Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store fully discharged. Charge it periodically if not used for extended periods.
- Tool Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the tool with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Always attach the blade sheath before storing the hedge trimmer. Store in a dry, secure location out of reach of children.
