TO USE GRASS SHEARS

WARNING: If any parts are missing
or damaged, do not operate your
grass shears until they have been
replaced. Failure to do so could
result in possible serious personal
injury.
To turn your grass shears on (Fig. 9), remove
blade cover, and proceed as follows:
1. Slide the lock-off button forward. This
allows the trigger to operate.
2. Depress and hold trigger.
3. Release the lock-off button.

on this item are limited to the battery

Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any

or adjustments, always take the unit
to an authorized Ryobi service
dealer.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Keep hands and fingers
away from moving parts. Any part of
body coming in contact with moving
parts could result in serious injury.
NOTE: The lock-off button is located on top
of the handle. The lock resets each
time the trigger is released.
4. Trim grass. Do not force the unit through
dense growth. If the blades slow down, then
reduce your pace. Should the blades jam,
release the trigger immediately. Remove the
battery and clear the blockage with a
screwdriver.
WARNING: Do not use fingers to
free up jammed blades. Jammed
blades can release suddenly,
causing serious injury. Always turn
the unit off and remove the battery
before performing service.
5. To stop grass shears, release the lock-off
button and the trigger (Fig. 10).

BLADE CLEANING

For longest life and easiest trimming, blade
cleaning should be performed if sap and debris
have built up, or if you live in an area where the
soil is sandy. Cleaning unusually heavy deposits
requires removal of the blades.
