commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATING THE BLADE
See Figure 7.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate grass
shear/shrubber blades before and after each use. If you will
be using the grass shear/shrubber for an extended period,
it is advisable to lubricate the blade during use.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Lay the grass shear/shrubber on a flat surface. Apply
light weight machine lubricant along the edge of the top
blade.
NOTE: Do not lubricate while the grass shear/shrubber is
running.
STORING THE GRASS SHEAR/SHRUBBER
See Figure 8.
 Remove the battery pack from the grass shear/shrubber
before storing.
 Clean all foreign material from the grass shear/shrubber.
 Always place the sheath or scabbard on the cutting blades
before transporting or storing the unit.
 Store it in a place that is inaccessible to children.
 Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing salts.
