trImmINg graSS
The grass shear blade (2) has been designed for trimming grass and weeds.
daNger:
result in serious personal injury.
CautIoN:
handling or changing blades.
CautIoN:
• In order to achieve optimum cutting results, only cut dry grass, hold the tool as shown in fig.
F. Keep your other hand well away from the blade. Maintain a stable working position so that
you do not slip. Do not over reach.
• When cutting long grass, work in stages from the top. Take small cuts.
• Keep the tool away from hard objects and delicate plants.
• If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.
• To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the tool.
• Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid hard objects such as metal wire and
railings, as these could damage the blades.
• Spray the blade with a light coating of general purpose oil before first use and whenever the
blades begin to look dry.
trImmINg hedgeS
The Shrub trim blade (3) has been designed for trimming hedges and shrubs.
daNger:
result in serious personal injury.
CautIoN:
handling or changing blades.
CautIoN:
• For optimal cutting performance slightly tilt the tool (up to 15° relative to the line of cut) so
that the blade tips point slightly towards the hedge (fig. G). This will cause the blades to cut
more effectively.
• Start by trimming the top of the hedge. Hold the tool at the desired angle and move it
steadily along the line of cut. The double-sided blade allows you to cut in either direction.
• In order to obtain a very straight cut, stretch a piece of string along the length of the hedge
at the desired height. Use the string as a guide line, cutting just above it.
• In order to obtain flat sides, cut upwards with the growth (fig. H). Younger stems move
outwards when the blade cuts downwards, causing shallow patches in the hedge.
• Take care to avoid any foreign objects. Especially avoid hard objects such as metal wire and
railings, as these could damage the blades.
• Regularly oil the blades.
