CAUTION: Never use the tool without install-
ing the undercover.
When trimming around curbs, fences or trees, move the
tool along them. Be careful that the blades do not come
into contact with them.

11. Remove the blade cover, and then turn on the tool
to check if the tool works properly.
When trimming sprouts or foliage of a small tree, trim
little by little.

NOTICE: If the shear blades do not operate prop-
erly, the blades are not engaging the crank prop-
erly. Remove the blades and install them again.
Trim large branches to the desired height using branch
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.
Installing or removing the chip
receiver
NOTICE: Do not attempt to cut thick branches.
Optional accessory
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.
CAUTION: When installing or removing the
chip receiver, always wear gloves and attach the
blade cover so that your hands and face do not
directly contact the blade.
Cutting long lawn
The chip receiver gathers discarded leaves and makes
clean-up afterward much easier. It can be installed on
either side of the tool.
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
To install the chip receiver, press it against the shear
blades so that the hooks fit into the holes of the shear
blades.
► Fig.38: 1. Hooks 2. Holes
NOTE: Cutting long grass to a short length all at once
may cause the grass to die.
Trimming (for hedge trimmer)
To remove the chip receiver, press the levers on both
sides to release the hooks.
► Fig.39: 1. Levers
NOTICE: Never try to remove the chip receiver
by an excessive force with its hooks locked in the
holes of the blades.
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.
OPERATION
CAUTION: Overreaching with a hedge trim-
mer, particularly from a ladder, is extremely
dangerous. Do not work while standing on anything
wobbly or infirm.
WARNING: Before shearing, clear away sticks
and stones from the shearing area. Furthermore,
clear away any weeds from the shearing area in
advance.
► Fig.40
NOTICE: Do not attempt to cut branches thicker
than 10 mm in diameter with the tool. Cut branches
to 10 cm lower than the cutting height using branch
cutters before using the tool.
WARNING: Keep hands away from blades.
► Fig.45: (1) Cutting height (2) 10 cm
NOTICE: Do not cut down dead trees or similar
hard objects. Doing so may damage the tool.
CAUTION: Avoid operating the tool in very
hot weather as much as practicable. When operat-
ing the tool, be careful of your physical condition.
NOTICE: Do not trim the grass or weeds while
using the shear blades. The blades may become
tangled in the grass or weeds.
