6. Adjuster (Standard accessory with CH10DL (CG),

CG10DL)

WARNING

Be sure to turn the saw off and remove the battery from

the tool before attaching and removing the adjuster.

CAUTION

Be sure to place the blade in the blade case before

attaching and removing the adjuster to prevent injury

by the blade coming into contact with your hands or

face.

[Trimming height guide]

The trimming height of the tool can be adjusted to

three heights by not attaching the adjuster or changing

adjuster orientation. (Fig. 9)

[Adjuster attachment]

(1) Turn the tool over and slide the adjuster tab in the

direction of the ribs on the tool. (Fig. 10)

(2) Press the front end of the adjuster to fit the adjuster

onto the tool. (A clicking sound will be heard)

(Fig. 11)

[Adjuster removal]

Raise the adjuster latch to remove the adjuster. (Fig. 12)

REPLACING THE BLADE

The blade is a consumable that has to be replaced with a

new blade when it loses sharpness.

Follow the steps below to replace the blade.

The tool shown in the illustration is the shrub shear, and

it is used in examples to explain features it shares with

the grass shear.

Before replacement, turn the switch on and off until the

teeth in the upper blade are positioned over the openings

between the teeth in the lower blade.

At this time, be careful of the moving blade.

WARNING

Be sure to turn off the power switch and remove the

battery from the tool to prevent accidents.

CAUTION

Before blade replacement, be sure to use gloves and

attach the blade case or blade cover to prevent the

blade from coming into direct contact with your hands

or face.

1. Remove the blade (Fig. 13)

(1) Turn the tool over, remove the four screws using a

Phillips screwdriver, remove the bottom plate and

the blade (with blade case).

(2) Remove the remaining crank holder and crank cam

(A) from the tool. The grease used may cause the

crank holder and crank cam (A) to stick to the blade.

(3) Remove any chips and other debris from inside the

housing.

2. Getting a new blade ready

Taking care to prevent injury from contact with the

blade, adjust the crank cam position as shown in

Fig. 14.

This places the teeth in the upper blade over the

openings in the teeth in the lower blade.

3. Attach the crank cam and crank cam holder to the

blade (Fig. 15)

The same type of crank cam holder is used in the

shrub shear and the grass shear. Use the crank holder

installed in the product.

4. Attach the new blade

(1) Align the pin on the tool with the center hole in the

crank holder. (Fig. 16)

(2) When the hexagonal part in the crank holder and the

grooves in the gear do not align, fine adjust so that the

crank holder aligns with the gear grooves. (Fig. 17)

(3) Turn over the tool making sure that the blade does

not fall out, attach the bottom plate and secure it with

the 4 screws. (Fig. 18)

NOTE

Be sure to check blade operation after it has been

attached. The blade and the crank cam has not been

properly fitted if the blade does not operate correctly.

Do the instructions over from the beginning.

HOW TO USE

WARNING

⅜ To prevent accidents, make sure there are no people

in the work area.

⅜ Keep your hands and all parts of the body away from

the blade to prevent contact that could lead to injury.

objects. The tool could be damaged and cause injury.

1. Trimming hedges and garden trees [Shrab shear]

CAUTION

⅜ Use a pair of pruning shears to cut thick branches

before using the shrub shear.

Do not force the tool to prevent it from breaking.

⅜ 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.

⅜ Use a sturdy ladder or step ladder when cutting tall

garden trees.

⅜ 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) Press the Lock Off button and pull back the switch to

start trimming.

NOTE

⅜ 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.

⅜ 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.

⅜ 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

⅜ Use a pair of pruning shears to remove 10 cm of

branches that are 8 mm or thicker so that they do not

interfere with trimming. (Fig. 20)
