Trimming hedges and garden trees
CAUTION
䡬
Use a pair of pruning shears to cut thick branches
before using the hedge trimmer.
Do not force the tool to prevent it from breaking.
䡬
Stop the tool immediately if the blade stalls against a
too heavy branch. Do not allow the motor to seize up
as it could damage the motor.
䡬
Use a sturdy ladder or step ladder when cutting tall
garden trees.
䡬
Use only for cutting shrub.
(1) Clear the area around the garden tree you want to
prune and set up a stable platform to work from.
(2) Place the blade in the blade case to prevent accidental
contact.
(3) Install the battery in the tool.
(4) Pull the trigger of the main handle while holding the
sub handle to start trimming.
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.
Trimming garden trees
䡬
Use a pair of pruning shears to remove 20 cm of
branches that are 15 mm or thicker so that they do
not interfere with trimming. (
Fig. 16
)
䡬
Trees with luxuriant foliage should be trimmed
starting from the bottom and work up to achieve the
desired shape. (
Fig. 17
)
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. 18
)
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.
