The chip receiver gathers discarded leaves and makes

clean-up afterward much easier. It can be installed on

either side of the tool.

To install the chip receiver, align the hooks of the chip

receiver with the arrow marks on the shear blades, and

then press the chip receiver against the shear blades so

that the hooks t into the grooves on the shear blades.

► Fig.20: 1. Hook 2. Arrow mark

► Fig.21: 1. Hook

NOTICE: Make sure that the chip receiver does

not overlap the branch catcher.

► Fig.22: 1. Branch catcher

To remove the chip receiver, press the levers on both

sides to release the hooks.

► Fig.23: 1. Lever

NOTICE: Never try to remove the chip receiver

by an excessive force with its hooks locked in the

grooves of the shear blades.

OPERATION

WARNING: Keep hands away from shear

blades.

CAUTION: Avoid operating the tool in very

hot weather as much as practicable. When operat-

ing the tool, be careful of your physical condition.

CAUTION: Be careful not to accidentally

contact a metal fence or other hard objects while

trimming. The shear blades may break and cause

an injury.

CAUTION: Be careful not to allow the shear

blades to contact the ground. The tool may recoil

and cause an injury.

CAUTION: Overreaching with a hedge trim-

mer, particularly from a ladder, is extremely

dangerous. Do not work while standing on anything

wobbly or inrm.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to cut branches thicker

than 10 mm in diameter with the tool. Cut branches

to 10 cm lower than the cutting height using branch

cutters before using the tool.

► Fig.24: (1) Cutting height (2) 10 cm

NOTICE: Do not cut down dead trees or similar

hard objects. Doing so may damage the tool.

NOTICE: Do not trim the grass or weeds while

using the shear blades. The shear blades may

become tangled in the grass or weeds.

Hold the tool with both hands, press the switch lever

and pull the switch trigger while pressing the lock-off

lever, and then move it forward.

► Fig.25

For basic operation, tilt the shear blades toward the

trimming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the

speed rate of 3 to 4 seconds per meter.

► Fig.26

To cut a hedge top evenly, tie a string at the desired

height and trim along it.

► Fig.27

If the chip receiver is attached to the shear blades, it

gathers discarded leaves and makes clean-up after-

ward much easier.

► Fig.28

To cut a hedge side evenly, cut from the bottom to top.

► Fig.29

When trimming to make a round shape (trimming box-

wood or rhododendron, etc.), trim from the root to the

top for a beautiful nish.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is

switched off and the battery cartridge is removed

before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,

repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should

be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service

Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.

Cleaning the tool

Clean the tool by wiping off dust with a dry cloth or one

dipped in soapy water and wrung out.

NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,

alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or

cracks may result.

Shear blade maintenance

Before the operation or once per hour during operation,

apply low-viscosity oil (machine oil, or spray-type lubri-

cating oil) to the shear blades.

► Fig.31

After operation, remove dust from both sides of the

shear blades with a wired brush, wipe it off with a cloth

and then apply low-viscosity oil (machine oil, or spray-

type lubricating oil) to the shear blades.

► Fig.32

NOTICE: Do not wash the shear blades in water.

Doing so may cause rust or damage to the tool.

NOTICE: Dirt and corrosion cause excessive

blade friction and shorten the operating time per

battery charge.
