GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be
repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should

Blades are sharp. When handling the blade assembly,
wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves. Do not place
your hand or fingers between blades or in any position
where they could get pinched or cut. NEVER touch blades
or service unit while running.
LUBRICATING THE BLADE
See Figure 5.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate blades
before and after each use. If you will be using the grass
shear for an extended period, it is advisable to oil the blade
during use.
Stop the motor and allow blades to stop moving.
Install padlock (not included) or lock-out pin into switch
trigger hole. Keep both hands away from switch.
Lay the grass shear on a flat surface. Apply light weight
machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
Remove padlock or lock-out pin from switch trigger hole.
NOTE: Do not oil while the grass shear is running.
