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.
◯ Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when handling
the blade. Failure to heed this warning may result in
injury.
1. Sharpening the blade (Fig. 19)
Move an iron fi le in the direction of the arrow for a rough
sharpening then use an oil stone to give the blade a good
fi nish.
(1) Use a fi ne iron fi le or one of intermediate coarseness.
(2) Coat the oil stone with machine oil (bicycle oil or the like).
(3) Use a whetstone to gently remove any burrs from the
back of the blade edge.
When to sharpen the blade
While this will vary the type of trees that are trimmed and
how often it is used, it is a good idea to sharpen the blade
about once a year to maintain a sharp edge.
NOTE
Do not use water for cleaning the blade to prevent rust or
other damage.
2. Lubricating the blade
During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge will
increase load and wear down the battery more rapidly.
Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like) to lubricate the
blade and wipe the blade with a cloth. To prevent the
blade from rusting, be sure to lubricate the blade after
use and when it will not be used for an extended period
of time before placing it in the blade case.
