Phillips screwdriver, remove the bottom plate and

the blade (with blade case). (Fig. 9)

cutting or dust from inside of the housing.) (Fig.10)

2. Getting a new blade ready

(1) A hole (ø5) used for positioning is located in the

center of the blade. Adjust the parts including the

upper and lower blades so that the holes in these

parts are aligned.(Fig.11)

(2) When the parts are positioned correctly, attach the

blade case to the new blade.

(3) Insert the spacer, which was removed in above step

1, between the upper and lower blades. (Fig. 12)

3. Rotate the crank cam with your hand and move it to

the position shown in the figure. (Fig. 13)

(1) Adjust the crank cam so that its circular disc part

comes just beside the unit as shown in the figure.

(2) If the nuts (located in four positions) are loose, press

them into the groove of the housing.

4. Attach the new blade (Fig. 14)

(1) Align the central hole of the reversed new blade

holder with the rounded projection in the center of

the crank cam.

blade holder using four screws.

NOTE

⅜ 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.

⅜ Be sure to use a blade (520 mm) designed for the tool.

Do not use other blades.

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.

⅜ Use protective goggles during work to prevent injury

from twigs and wood chips.

⅜ Do not use to tool to cut wire, metal plates or other hard

objects. The tool could be damaged and cause injury.

Trimming hedges and garden trees

CAUTION

⅜ 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.

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) Pull the trigger of the main handle while holding the

sub handle 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 20 cm of

branches that are 15 mm or thicker so that they do

not interfere with trimming. (Fig. 16)

⅜ Trees with luxuriant foliage should be trimmed

starting from the bottom and work up to achieve the

desired shape. (Fig. 17)

Trimming hedges

⅜ 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

⅜ Do not use the tool for cutting the lawn or weeds.

Grass or weeds could stick to the blade.

⅜ Cut thick branches by gently pressing the blades

against the branch.
