Shearing new growth
A wide, sweeping motion is most effective,
feeding the blade teeth through the twigs. A
slight downward tilt of the blade in the direction
of motion gives the best cutting results.

One sweep will usually cut all twigs in the blade's path.
Shearing heavier growth
To cut older growth with thicker twigs, use a little extra pressure as you feed
the blade through the growth. This clears the blade faster, and helps to feed the
thicker twigs into the blade teeth. Slowly feed the tool through heavy branches,
using only a portion of the cutting edges. If the tool stalls on these heavy pieces,
stop immediately and release the trigger switch.
