the beginning.
OPERATION
WARNING:
• Keep hands away from blades.
CAUTION:
• Smear the blade before and once per hour during
operation using machine oil or the like.
• Avoid operating the tool under the scorching sunlight
as much as practicable. When operating the tool, be
careful of your physical conditions.
(Fig. 22)
Turn the tool on after adjusting the shearing height and
hold it so that the foot of the tool rest on the ground. Then
gently move the tool forward into the area to be cut.
(Fig. 23)
When trimming around curb, fence or trees, move the tool
along them. Be careful for the blade not to contact them.
(Fig. 24)
When trimming sprouts or foliage of a small tree, remove
the base frame from the tool and cut little by little.
Shear big branches to your desired height beforehand
using branch scissors before using this tool.
CAUTION:
• When trimming twigs and foliage, do not attempt to trim
too much at a time. Proceed gently. Also do not
attempt to cut thick branches.
• Do not let the shear blades contact the grounds during
operation. The blades will be dulled, causing poor
performance.
• Do not trim wet grass or foliage of small trees.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Cleaning the tool
Clean out the tool by wiping off dust with a dry or soap-
dipped rag.
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Shear blade maintenance (Fig. 25 & 26)
After operation, remove dust from both sides of the blade
with wired brush, wipe off it with a rag and then apply
enough low-viscosity oil, such as machine oil etc. and
spray-type lubricating oil.
CAUTION:
• Do not wash the blades in water. Failure to do so may
cause rust or damage on the tool.
• Dirt and corrosion cause excessive blade friction and
shorten the operating time per battery charge.
After use
• To clean off the exterior of the tool, dampen a soft cloth
in a soapy water and wipe gently. Never use thinner or
benzine.
• Do not store the tool in a place where volatile materials
are stored.
