Trimming hedges and garden trees [Shrab shear]
CAUTION
○
Use a pair of pruning shears to cut thick branches before using the shrub shear.
Do not force the tool to prevent it from breaking.
○
Stop the tool immediately if the blade stalls against a too heavy branch. Do not
allow the motor to seize up as it could damage the motor.
○
Use a sturdy ladder or step ladder when cutting tall garden trees.
○
Use only for cutting shrub.
(1)
Clear the area around the garden tree you want to prune and set up a stable platform to
work from.
(2)
Place the blade in the blade case to prevent accidental contact.
(3)
Install the battery in the tool.
(4)
Press the Lock Off button and pull back the switch to start trimming.
NOTE
Lubricate (using sewing machine oil, mineral oil, etc.) the blade before starting and then
○
every hour. Use an adequate amount of oil and wipe away excess oil.
During work (for example, when taking rests) do not leave the tool in a place exposed to
○
direct sunlight or high temperature. This will prevent proper cooling and could result in
damage.
Do not use the tool for work that exceeds its capacity. Such operation could cause the
○
motor to lock up or slow down and will damage it.
Trimming garden trees
Use a pair of pruning shears to remove 10 cm of branches that are 8 mm or thicker so that
○
they do not interfere with trimming. (Fig. 19)
Trees with luxuriant foliage should be trimmed starting from the bottom and work up to
○
achieve the desired shape. (Fig. 20)
