1. Trimming hedges and garden trees [CH10DL]
CAUTION:
Use a pair of pruning shears to cut thick branches
before using the shrub shear.
Do not force the tool to prevent it from breaking.
●
Stop the tool immediately if the blade stalls
against a too heavy branch. Do not allow the
motor to seize up as it could damage the motor.
●
Use a sturdy ladder or step ladder when cutting
tall garden trees.
(1) Clear the area around the garden tree you want to
prune and set up a stable platform to work from.
(2) Place the blade in the blade case to prevent
accidental contact.
(3) Install the battery in the tool.
(4) Press the Lock Off button and pull back the switch
to start trimming.
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.
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)

Grass or weeds could stick to the blade.
Cut thick branches by gently pressing the blades

Stop the tool immediately should gravel or
branches enter the blade during trimming and

remove gravel from the blade. To prevent injury,
keep hands, fingers 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.
