●
Do not use to tool to cut wire, metal plates or other
hard objects. The tool could be damaged and
cause injury.
1. Trimming hedges and garden trees
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) Pull the trigger of the main handle while holding
the sub handle 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 3–7/8" (10
cm) of branches that are 1/4" (6 mm) or thicker so
that they do not interfere with trimming.
(Fig. 9)
Trees with luxuriant foliage should be trimmed
starting from the bottom and work up to achieve
the desired shape. (Fig. 10)
