Installing or removing hedge shear

blades

CAUTION:

• Before installing or removing shear blades, always be

sure that the tool is switched off and the battery

cartridge is removed.

• When replacing the shear blades, always wear gloves

without removing blade cover so that hands and face

do not directly contact the blade. Failure to do so may

cause personal injury.

NOTE:

• Do not wipe off grease from the gear and crank. Failure

to do so may cause damage to the tool.

• For specific way of removing and installing shear

blades refer to the reverse of a package for accessory

shear blades.

Installing the hedge shear blades (Fig. 28)

Prepare the crank, the undercover and new shear blades.

(Fig. 15)

Adjust the three pin position so that these three pins are

aligned with the basic alignment line on the tool housing.

(Fig. 16)

Fit the crank with its recessed part facing downward onto

the pins. At this time, apply a small amount of grease to

the periphery of the crank using grease that the shear

blades as optional accessory are provided with or that

remains inside gear housing. (Fig. 29)

Overlap the oval hole in the upper blade with that in the

lower one. Move the shear blades so that the hole in the

base plate of shear blades are positioned in the center of

these overlapped oval holes. (Fig. 30)

Take out the blade cover from the old shear blades and fit

it onto the new ones for easy handling during the

replacement of blades. (Fig. 31)

Turn the shear blades upside down and install it so that

pin on the tool fit in the hole in the shear blades. Fit the

bent part of the base plate of the shear blades to the

groove in the tool housing. Then make sure that the base

plate of the shear blades is set in place. (Fig. 32)

Tighten two screws with a coin firmly. (Fig. 33)

Place the undercover so that the symbol on the

undercover is aligned with the symbol Δ on the locking

lever. (Fig. 34)

Press the undercover down and with the undercover

pressed down turn the undercover clockwise until the

symbol on the label is aligned with the symbol Δ on the

locking lever (the undercover is completely locked.).

(Fig. 21)

At this time, make sure that the locking lever fits in the

groove in the undercover.

CAUTION:

• Never use the tool without installing the undercover on

it.

Remove the blade cover and then turn on the tool to

check it for proper movement.

NOTE:

• When the shear blades do not operate properly, there

is a poor fit between the blades and crank. Redo from

the beginning.

Removing the hedge shear blades

(Fig. 35)

CAUTION:

• Install the blade cover before removing or installing the

shear blades.

Reverse the tool. (Fig. 36)

To remove the shear blades, press the locking lever and

with the locking lever pressed turn the undercover

counterclockwise until the symbol on the undercover is

aligned with the symbol Δ on the locking lever. (Fig. 37)

Take out the undercover from the tool. (Fig. 38)

Loosen two screws with a coin and remove the shear

blades.

NOTE:

• Do not remove the screws. Without removing the

screws loosened, shear blades can be removed.

(Fig. 39)

Remove the crank from the shear blades.

NOTE:

• The crank may remain in the tool. (Fig. 40)

NOTE:

• In the 2-way usage, the removed grass shear blades

need to be sheared in the blade storage case and

stored for future use.

OPERATION

Refer to the Important Safety Instructions before

operation.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to accidentally contact a metal fence or

other hard objects while trimming. The blade will break

and may cause serious injury.

• Also, be careful for the shear blade not to contact the

ground.

• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a

ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not work from

anything wobbly or infirm. (Fig. 41)

Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 10 mm

diameter with this trimmer. These should first be cut with

shears down to the hedge trimming level.

CAUTION:

• Do not cut off dead trees or similar hard objects.

Failure to do so may damage the tool.

• Do not trim the grass or weeds while using hedge

shear blade. The shear blade may entangle the grass

or weeds. (Fig. 42)

Hold the trimmer with one hand, depress the lock-off

button and pull the switch trigger and then move it in front

of your body. (Fig. 43)
