Installing or removing the chip
receiver
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
When installing or removing the
chip receiver, always wear gloves and attach the

blades so that the hooks fit into the holes of the shear
blades.

cutters before using this tool.
NOTICE:
Do not use the tool in a way that causes
the motor to stop or to rotate extremely slowly.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to cut thick branches.
NOTICE:
Do not allow the shear blades to con-
tact the ground during operation. The blades will
be dulled, causing poor performance.
NOTICE:
Do not trim the wet grass or foliage of
small trees.
Cutting long lawn
Do not try to cut long grass all at once. Instead, cut the
lawn in steps. Leave a day or two between cuts until the
lawn becomes evenly short.
► Fig.44
NOTE: Cutting long grass to a short length all at once
may cause the grass to die.
Trimming (for hedge trimmer)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to accidentally
contact a metal fence or other hard objects while
trimming. The blades may break and cause an injury.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to allow the shear
blades to contact the ground. The tool may recoil
and cause an injury.
CAUTION:
Overreaching with a hedge trim-
mer, particularly from a ladder, is extremely
dangerous. Do not work while standing on anything
wobbly or infirm.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to cut branches thicker
than 10 mm in diameter with the tool. Cut branches
to the desired height using branch cutters before
using the tool.
