The trimming height of the tool can be adjusted to three
heights by not attaching the adjuster or changing adjuster
orientation. (Fig. 9)
[Adjuster attachment]

direction of the ribs on the tool. (Fig. 10)
(2) Press the front end of the adjuster to fi t the adjuster
onto the tool. (A clicking sound will be heard)
(Fig. 11)
[Adjuster removal]
Raise the adjuster latch to remove the adjuster. (Fig. 12)
REPLACING THE BLADE
The blade is a consumable that has to be replaced with a
new blade when it loses sharpness.
Follow the steps below to replace the blade.
The tool shown in the illustration is the shrub shear, and it is
used in examples to explain features it shares with the grass
shear.
Before replacement, turn the switch on and off until the teeth
in the upper blade are positioned over the openings between
the teeth in the lower blade.
At this time, be careful of the moving blade.
WARNING
Be sure to turn off the power switch and remove the
battery from the tool to prevent accidents.
CAUTION
Before blade replacement, be sure to use gloves and
attach the blade case or blade cover to prevent the blade
from coming into direct contact with your hands or face.
1. Remove the blade (Fig. 13)
(1) Turn the tool over, remove the four screws using a Phillips
screwdriver, remove the bottom plate and the blade (with
blade case).
(2) Remove the remaining crank holder and crank cam (A)
from the tool. The grease used may cause the crank
holder and crank cam (A) to stick to the blade.
(3) Remove any chips and other debris from inside the
housing.
2. Getting a new blade ready
Taking care to prevent injury from contact with the
blade, adjust the crank cam position as shown in
Fig. 14.
This places the teeth in the upper blade over the openings
in the teeth in the lower blade.
3. Attach the crank cam and crank cam holder to the
blade (Fig. 15)
The same type of crank cam holder is used in the shrub
shear and the grass shear. Use the crank holder installed
in the product.
4. Attach the new blade
(1) Align the pin on the tool with the center hole in the crank
holder. (Fig. 16)
(2) When the hexagonal part in the crank holder and the
grooves in the gear do not align, fi ne adjust so that the
crank holder aligns with the gear grooves. (Fig. 17)
(3) Turn over the tool making sure that the blade does not
fall out, attach the bottom plate and secure it with the 4
screws. (Fig. 18)
NOTE
Be sure to check blade operation after it has been
attached. The blade and the crank cam has not been
properly fi tted if the blade does not operate correctly. Do
the instructions over from the beginning.
HOW TO USE
WARNING
◯ To prevent accidents, make sure there are no people in
the work area.
◯ Keep your hands and all parts of the body away from the
blade to prevent contact that could lead to injury.
◯ Use protective goggles during work to prevent injury from
twigs and wood chips.
◯ Do not use to tool to cut wire, metal plates or other hard
objects. The tool could be damaged and cause injury.
1. Trimming hedges and garden trees [Shrab shear]
CAUTION
◯ Use a pair of pruning shears to cut thick branches before
using the shrub shear.
Do not force the tool to prevent it from breaking.
◯ Stop the tool immediately if the blade stalls against a too
heavy branch. Do not allow the motor to seize up as it
could damage the motor.
◯ Use a sturdy ladder or step ladder when cutting tall
garden trees.
◯ Use only for cutting shrub.
(1) Clear the area around the garden tree you want to prune
and set up a stable platform to work from.
(2) Place the blade in the blade case to prevent accidental
contact.
(3) Install the battery in the tool.
(4) Press the Lock Off button and pull back the switch to start
trimming.
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.
Trimming garden trees
◯ Use a pair of pruning shears to remove 10 cm of branches
that are 8 mm or thicker so that they do not interfere with
trimming. (Fig. 20)
◯ Trees with luxuriant foliage should be trimmed starting
from the bottom and work up to achieve the desired
shape. (Fig. 21)
