CUTTING TIPS
See Figures 5 - 6.
WARNING:
Never cut near electric cords or lines. If blade jams on
any electrical cord or line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE!
IT CAN BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY
DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the grass shear by the
handle or lay it down and away from you in a safe manner.
Disconnect the electrical service to the damaged line or
cord before attempting to free the blade from the line or
cord. Contact with the blade, other conductive parts of
the grass shear, or live electric cords or lines will result
in death by electrocution or serious injury.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as cords, lights, wire, or loose string which
can become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of serious personal injury.
Never use the grass shear near power lines, fencing,
posts, buildings, or other immovable objects.
Do not force the grass shear through heavy grass. This
can cause the blades to bind and slow down. If the blades
slow down, reduce the pace.
OPERATION
Do not attempt to cut stems or twigs.
If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow
the blades to stop, and remove the battery pack before
attempting to remove the obstruction.
Always wear gloves when operating the grass shear.
OPERATING THE GRASS SHEAR
See Figures 5.
Depending on the application, stand or kneel in a stable
position next to the cutting area.
Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
Grasp the handle firmly and start the grass shear.
Using a slow, sweeping action begin cutting from side to
side.
If the blade hits a hard object, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop, and remove the battery pack. Inspect the
blade for damage. Do not use if any damage is detected.
