Trees with luxuriant foliage should be trimmed
starting from the bottom and work up to achieve the
desired shape. (
Fig. 21
)
Trimming hedges
䡬
Trim the top of hedges by moving the tool from right
to left (or left to right) and trim the sides by starting
from below and working up. (
Fig. 22
)
NOTE
䡬
Do not use the tool for cutting the lawn or weeds.
Grass or weeds could stick to the blade.
䡬
Cut thick branches by gently pressing the blades
against the branch.
2. Trimming lawns [Grass shear]
CAUTION
䡬
Use only for cutting grass.
䡬
Stop the tool immediately should gravel or branches
enter the blade during trimming and remove the
battery.
Do not allow the motor to seize up as it could damage
the motor. Use a pair of tongs to gently remove
gravel from the blade. To prevent injury, keep hands,
fingers and other body parts away from the blade.
(1) Remove gravel and branches from the lawn to be
trimmed.
(2) Place the blade in the blade cover to prevent accidental
contact.
(3) Install the adjuster when required to adjust trimming
height.
(4) Install the battery in the tool.
(5) Press the Lock Off button and pull the switch to start
trimming.
Place the tool on the lawn and slide the tool forward.

NOTE
䡬
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.
䡬
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.
䡬
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.
䡬
Do not lower the front end of the blade to prevent
sand, gravel or soil from entering the blade and
damaging it by making it less sharp.
Trimming tall grass
Attempting to cut tall grass at one go will expose the
blade to excessive load and wear the blade. First
remove 1/3 of the height starting from the top before
trimming it to the desired height.
Trimming around stone walls and curbs
When trimming around curbs, move the blade
sideways along the curb. (
Fig. 24
)
This makes it possible to trim without leaving
untrimmed edges.
3. Continuous operating time
Approx. 30 minutes (depending on the work conditions)
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
䡬
Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery

out maintenance.
䡬
Do not disassemble to blade. Failure to heed this
warning may result in injury.
䡬
Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when
handling the blade. Failure to heed this warning may
result in injury.
