TRIMMING TECHNIQUES
Maintain proper balance at all times. Keep hand away from blades. Wear eye
protection when using the unit. Hold the clipper fi rmly and turn ON.
• The shear works best with dry grass, but it can be used safely in wet grass due
to the low voltage design.
• A long sweeping cutting motion will get the greatest amount of clipping per
charge.
• Feed blade into grass at a rate that allows it to keep up cutting speed. Feed
slower if blades slow down.
• DO NOT force blade into the ground. It is designed for clipping grass, weeds,
dry fl owers and new shrub growth. It is not designed for edging.
• Watch out for foreign objects in the grass.
• A fully charged grass shear should have a cutting time of about 40 minutes.
Cutting time may be diminished signifi cantly by a using a dirty or un-lubricated
blade.
CAUTION: If the blades become JAMMED or stalled on a branch, stick or
foreign object, release the trigger immediately. Failure to stop the unit when the
blades are jammed will cause excessive battery drainage and shorten motor life
(overheating). After the blades have completely stopped moving, carefully remove
the obstruction.
MAINTENANCE
BLADE CLEANING – After you have fi nished trimming, you may fi nd that dirt and
vegetation have accumulated on the blades. Wash the blades in water after each
use to prevent build-up. Hold the unit, tilting it forward, to ensure that NO water
gets into the unit or the blade gearbox. Only the blade tips should be held under
running water or in a pan of water. Turn tool "ON" to help dislodge any deposits.
BLADE LUBRICATION – After cleaning the blades, wipe with a cloth and allow
them to dry. Then, with a rag, apply a thin fi lm of lightweight oil to the top and
bottom of blades. DO NOT overly oil. Turn the unit ON for a few seconds to work
lubricant between the blades.
OTHER LUBRICATION – No periodic re-lubrication of the clipper's bearings or
other moving parts is required.
CLEANING PLASTIC PARTS – Use only warm water and mild soap to clean
plastic parts. Many household cleaners contain chemicals, which could damage
the plastic. Never use gasoline, turpentine, paint thinner or similar fl uids.
BLADE NICKS AND BURRS – If you accidentally hit a wire, fence, stone, or other
hard object, you may put a nick on the blade. There is no need to remove this nick
or burr as long as it does not interfere with the movement of the blades. If it does
interfere, use ONLY an oilstone to remove it.

will alter the steel temper and reduce useful life.
DROPPING THE GRASS SHEAR - If you drop the unit, carefully inspect it for
damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked, or if you see any other condition
that may affect the safe operation, contact our customer service at (800) 540-5688
