○ 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.
○ 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
○ 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)
○ Trees with luxuriant foliage should be trimmed starting
from the bottom and work up to achieve the desired
shape. (Fig. 21)
Trimming hedges
○ 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. 22)
NOTE
○ Do not use the tool for cutting the lawn or weeds. Grass
or weeds could stick to the blade.
○ Cut thick branches by gently pressing the blades
against the branch.
2. Trimming lawns [Grass shear]
CAUTION
○ Use only for cutting grass.
○ Stop the tool immediately should gravel or branches
enter the blade during trimming and remove the battery.
Do not allow the motor to seize up as it could damage
the motor. Use a pair of tongs to gently remove gravel
from the blade. To prevent injury, keep hands, fi ngers
and other body parts away from the blade.

(1) Remove gravel and branches from the lawn to be
trimmed.
(2) Place the blade in the blade cover to prevent accidental
contact.
(3) Install the adjuster when required to adjust trimming
height.
(4) Install the battery in the tool.
(5) Press the Lock Off button and pull the switch to start
trimming.
Place the tool on the lawn and slide the tool forward.
(Fig. 23)
NOTE
○ 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.
○ 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.
○ 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.
○ Do not lower the front end of the blade to prevent sand,
gravel or soil from entering the blade and damaging it
by making it less sharp.
Trimming tall grass
Attempting to cut tall grass at one go will expose the
blade to excessive load and wear the blade. First
remove 1/3 of the height starting from the top before
trimming it to the desired height.
Trimming around stone walls and curbs
When trimming around curbs, move the blade sideways
along the curb. (Fig. 24)
This makes it possible to trim without leaving untrimmed
edges.
3. Continuous operating time
Approx. 30 minutes (depending on the work conditions)
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
WARNING
○ Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery from
the tool before making inspections or carrying out
maintenance.
○ Do not disassemble to blade. Failure to heed this
warning may result in injury.
