To start:
 Depress the lock-out button.

CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 4.
DANGER:
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.
OPERATION
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.
 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.
 If blades do become jammed, stop the motor, allow the
blades to stop before attempting to remove the obstruction.
OPERATING THE GRASS SHEAR
See Figure 4.
WARNING:
Read the safety information for safe operation using the
blade. Extreme care must be taken when using blades
to ensure safe operation. Refer to Important Safety
Instructions and Specific Safety Rules.
 Inspect and clear the area of any hidden objects.
 Never use the grass shear near power lines, fencing, posts,
buildings, or other immovable objects.
 Never use a blade after hitting a hard object without first
inspecting it for damage. Do not use if any damage is
detected.
