2. The trigger has been designed so it is easy to hold in the ON position during
clipping. The safety thumb switch may be released after the trigger switch
is ON.
3. To turn tool OFF, merely release the trigger. The locking safety switch will snap
backward and prevent the trigger switch from being accidentally depressed.
To Change Blades:
1. Keep your hands away from the trigger and safety switch to ensure the tool is
not accidentally turned ON. Keep hands away from the sharp edges on the
blades.
2. Place the Clip&Shear™ on a flat surface.
3. Grip the rear of the handle with one hand, while gripping the black release but-
tons (on each side of the unit) with the thumb and index finger of the other hand.
See Figure 2.
4. Squeeze in and pull the release buttons FORWARD and lift the tool upward to
disengage it from the blade and gearbox. See Figure 2.
5. With the release buttons FORWARD and the other blade assembly on a flat
surface, place the unit on top of the black gearbox and gently lower it into place.
6. When the blade assembly is securely in place push the two release buttons
BACKWARD to lock the blade in place.
TRIMMING TECHNIQUES
Maintain proper balance at all times. Keep hand away from blades. Wear eye
protection when using the unit. Hold the clipper firmly and turn ON.
GRASS SHEAR
• The shear works best with dry grass, but it can be used safely in wet grass due to
the low voltage design.
• A long sweeping cutting motion will get the greatest amount of clipping per
charge.
• Feed blade into grass at a rate that allows it to keep up cutting speed. Feed
slower if blades slow down.
• DO NOT force blade into the ground. It is designed for clipping grass, weeds, dry
flowers and new shrub growth. It is not designed for edging.
• Watch out for foreign objects in the grass.
• A fully charged Clip&Shear™ should have a cutting time of up to one hour. Cut-
ting time may be diminished significantly by a using a dirty or un-lubricated blade.
SHRUB CLIPPER
• The shrub clipper works best with dry shrubbery and bushes, but it could be used
safely with wet growth due to the low voltage design.

• A wide sweeping cutting motion away from the body is recommended, and will
get the greatest amount of clipping per charge.
• A slight downward tilt of the blade, in the direction of motion gets the best result.
• To cut thicker twigs, use a little extra pressure as you feed the blade through the
growth.
• This unit should NOT be used for large trees and hedges with limbs in excess of
5/16th of an inch in diameter.
• Watch out for foreign objects.
• A fully charged Clip&Shear™ should have a cutting time in excess of one hour.
Cutting time may be diminished significantly by a using a dirty or unlubricated
blade
CAUTION: If the blades become JAMMED or stalled on a branch, stick, or foreign
object, release the trigger immediately. Failure to stop the unit when the blades are
jammed will cause excessive battery drainage and shorten motor life (overheating).
After the blades have completely stopped moving, carefully remove the obstruction.

MAINTENANCE

BLADE CLEANING – After you have finished trimming, you may find that dirt and
vegetation have accumulated on the blades. Wash the blades in water after each
use to prevent build-up. Hold the unit, tilting it forward, to ensure that NO water gets
into the unit or the blade gearbox. Only the blade tips should be held under running
water or in a pan of water. Turn tool "ON" to help dislodge any deposits.
BLADE LUBRICATION – After cleaning the blades, wipe with a cloth and allow
them to dry. Then, with a rag, apply a thin film of lightweight oil to the top and bot-
tom of blades. DO NOT overly oil. Turn the unit ON for a few seconds to work lubri-
cant between the blades.
OTHER LUBRICATION – No periodic re-lubrication of the clipper's bearings or
other moving parts is required.
CLEANING PLASTIC PARTS – Use only warm water and mild soap to clean plas-
tic parts. Many household cleaners contain chemicals, which could damage the
plastic. Never use gasoline, turpentine, paint thinner or similar fluids.
BLADE NICKS AND BURRS – If you accidentally hit a wire, fence, stone, or other
hard object, you may put a nick on the blade. There is no need to remove this nick
or burr as long as it does not interfere with the movement of the blades. If it does
interfere, use ONLY an oilstone to remove it. DO NOT file or grind the blade as it
will alter the steel temper and reduce useful life.
DROPPING THE Clip&Shear™ - If you drop the unit, carefully inspect it for dam-
age. If the blade is bent, housing cracked, or if you see any other condition that may
affect the safe operation, contact our customer service at 800-637-2867 for instruc-
tions on getting the unit repaired.

IMPORTANT:

To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs and ad-
justments should be performed by our authorized service center using factory ap-
proved parts.

STORAGE

TEMPERATURE – Temperature extremes limit the useful life of the battery. The
best storage place is one that is cool and dry. Store the tool away from direct
