TRIMMING TECHNIQUES
1. The shears work best with dry grass and
twigs.
2. Feed blade at a rate that allows it to keep
up the cutting speed. Feed slower if blades
slow down.
3. Do NOT force blade into ground. It is
designed for clipping grass, weeds, dry
owers and small twigs. It is not design
for edging.
4. Watch out for and avoid foreign objects
during use.
5. This unit should NOT be used for large trees
and hedges with limbs in excess of 5/16th
inch in diameter
6. While using the shears, a forward motion
away from the body will allow for the great-
est amount of clipping per charge.
When using the clipper, maintain
proper balance and hold rmly at all
times. Keep hand away from blades.
Wear eye protection and rubber
gloves when operating tool.
CAUTION:
If the blades become jammed or
stalled on a branch, stick or foreign
object, release the trigger immedi-
ately. Failure to stop unit when the
blades are jammed will cause exces-
sive battery drainage, overheating
and shorten the motor life. After
the motor has stopped, with gloves
on, carefully and completely remove
obstruction.
