Blunt extension remove/install
NOTE
For normal cutting, strongly recommends the blunt extension be installed. In extreme conditions, such as commercial cutting, or
when cutting thick and/or dense branches, efficiency may be increased by trimming without the blunt extension.
Cutter blades are very sharp. Touching them may lead to severe personal injury. Avoid touching blades whenever
possible, and always wear gloves to protect hands.
Use a socket and extension when removing locknuts in order to keep hands at a safe distance from sharp blades.

cause a fire.
