HOW TO USE
• This machine is designed so as to cut
twigs upto 28 mm (0.3 inches) thick.
Cutting too thick twigs or metal wires
can not only break the blade teeth but
also give damage to the drive
mechanism.
• When trimming leaves and thin twigs,
guide the blades as drawing a half
circle on the surface, and you will get a
better finish.
• Running the engine at high speed with
the blades Jammed up can shorten the
life of clutch parts. When the blades
have been jammed by thick twigs, stop
operation at once and draw your unit
off the objects after stopping the
engine. When clipping comparatively
thick twigs, move your unit slowly back
and forth like a saw, and they can be
cut to a fine finish.
NOTE
• When a new unit is first operated, in
the first few minutes grease may
come out of the gear case. But, since
this is excess grease, there is no cause
for alarm. For next use just wipe it off
with the engine stopped.
