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.

• Overreaching with a hedge trimmer, particularly from a

ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do not work from

anything wobbly or infirm. (Fig. 6)

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. (Fig. 7)

Hold the trimmer with both hands and pull the switch

trigger A or B and then move it in front of your body.

(Fig. 8)

As a basic operation, tilt the blades towards the trimming

direction and move it calmly and slowly at the speed rate

of 3 - 4 seconds per meter. (Fig. 9)

To cut a hedge top evenly, it helps to tie a string at the

desired hedge height and to trim along it, using it as a

reference line. (Fig. 10)

Attaching the chip receiver (optional accessory) on the

tool when trimming the hedge straight can avoid cut off

leaves’ being thrown away. (Fig. 11)

To cut a hedge side evenly, it helps to cut from the bottom

upwards. (Fig. 12)

Trim boxwood or rhododendron from the base toward the

top for a nice appearance and good job.

Installing or removing chip receiver

(optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing chip receiver.

NOTE:

• When replacing the chip receiver, always wear gloves

so that hands and face does not directly contact the

blade. Failure to do so may cause personal injury.

• Always be sure to remove the blade cover before

installing the chip receiver.

• The chip receiver receives cut-off leaves and alleviates

collecting thrown-away leaves. This can be installed on

either side of the tool. (Fig. 13)

Press the chip receiver on the shear blades so that its slits

overlap with the nuts on the shear blades. (Fig. 14)

At this time, the chip receiver needs to be installed so that

its hooks fit into grooves in the shear blade unit. (Fig. 15)

To remove the chip receiver, press its lever on both sides

so that the hooks are unlocked.

CAUTION:

• The blade cover (standard equipment) cannot be

installed on the tool with the chip receiver being

installed. Before carrying or storing, uninstall the chip

receiver and then install the blade cover to avoid blade

exposure.

NOTE:

• Check the chip receiver for secure installment before

use.

• Never try to uninstall the chip receiver by an excessive

force with its hooks locked in the blade unit grooves.

Using the excessive force may damage it.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to

perform inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning the tool

Clean out the tool by wiping off dust with a dry or soap-

dipped rag.

CAUTION:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Blade maintenance

Smear the blade before and once per hour during

operation using machine oil or the like.

NOTE:

• Before smearing the blade, remove the chip receiver.

After operation, remove dust from both sides of the blade

with wired brush, wipe it off with a rag and then apply

enough low-viscosity oil, such as machine oil etc. and

spray-type lubricating oil.

CAUTION:

cause rust or damage on the tool.
