To install the base frame, fit the protrusion of base frame near the change lever into the hole for the sheared grass height setting. With the base frame so fitted, pull the lower part of base frame and fit the other part of the base frame in the groove in the tool.

Adjusting the shearing height (Fig. 48)

Changing the position of holding the change lever allows three-stepped setting for sheared grass height (10 mm, 15 mm, 25 mm).

To change setting, tilt the change lever for the base frame position and with the change lever tilted move it up or down along the tool surface until the protrusion on base frame fits in one of the holes in the tool and release it.

OPERATION

WARNING:

- Keep hands away from blades.

CAUTION:

• Smear the blade before and once per hour during operation using machine oil or similar.
• Avoid operating the tool under the scorching sunlight as much as practicable. When operating the tool, be careful of your physical conditions. (Fig. 49)

Turn the tool on after adjusting the shearing height and hold it so that the foot of the tool rest on the ground. Then gently move the tool forward into the area to be cut.

(Fig. 50)

When trimming around curb, fence or trees, move the tool along them. Be careful for the blade not to contact them.

(Fig. 51)

When trimming sprouts or foliage of a small tree, remove the base frame from the tool and cut little by little.

Shear big branches to your desired height beforehand using branch scissors before using this tool.

CAUTION:

• When trimming twigs and foliage, do not attempt to trim too much at a time. Proceed gently. Also do not attempt to cut thick branches.
• Do not let the shear blades contact the grounds during operation. The blades will be dulled, causing poor performance.
• Do not trim wet grass or foliage of small trees.

Vibration

ENG244-1

The vibration emission value determined according to EN60745:

Vibration emission ( a_h ): 2.5 m/s ^2 or less

Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s ^4

ENG901-1

• The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING:

• The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
