Trimming hedges
Trim the top of hedges by moving the tool from right to left (or left to right) and trim the sides
○
by starting from below and working up. (Fig. 21)
NOTE
Do not use the tool for cutting the lawn or weeds. Grass or weeds could stick to the blade.
○
Cut thick branches by gently pressing the blades against the branch.
○
2.
Trimming lawns [Grass shear]
CAUTION
○
Use only for cutting grass.
○
Stop the tool immediately should gravel or branches enter the blade during
trimming and remove the battery.
Do not allow the motor to seize up as it could damage the motor. Use a pair of
tongs to gently remove gravel from the blade. To prevent injury, keep hands,
fi ngers and other body parts away from the blade.
(1)
Remove gravel and branches from the lawn to be trimmed.
(2)
Place the blade in the blade cover to prevent accidental contact.
(3)
Install the adjuster when required to adjust trimming height.
(4)
Install the battery in the tool.
(5)
Press the Lock Off button and pull the switch to start trimming.
Place the tool on the lawn and slide the tool forward. (Fig. 22)
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.
Do not lower the front end of the blade to prevent sand, gravel or soil from entering the
○
blade and damaging it by making it less sharp.
Trimming tall grass
Attempting to cut tall grass at one go will expose the blade to excessive load and wear the
blade. First remove 1/3 of the height starting from the top before trimming it to the desired
height.
