WARNING!
Hedge Clipper blades are very sharp. Touching them may lead to severe
personal injury. Avoid touching blades whenever possible, and always wear
gloves to protect hands.

For normal cutting, Shindaiwa strongly recommends the blade stiffener be installed.
In extreme conditions, such as commercial cutting, or when cutting thick and/or dense
branches, efficiency may be increased by trimming without the blade stiffener.
