Operation - Makita UH004G Instruction Manual

WARNING:

Keep hands away from shear blades.

CAUTION:

Avoid operating the tool in very

hot weather as much as practicable. When operat-

ing the tool, be careful of your physical condition.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to accidentally con-

tact a metal fence or other hard objects while trim-

ming. The shear blades may break and cause an injury.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to allow the shear blades

to contact the ground. The tool may recoil and cause an injury.

CAUTION:

Overreaching with a hedge trimmer,

particularly from a ladder, is extremely dangerous. Do

not work while standing on anything wobbly or infirm.

NOTICE:

Do not attempt to cut branches thicker

than 10 mm in diameter with the tool. Cut branches

to 10 cm lower than the cutting height using branch

cutters before using the tool.

► ( 1) Cutting height (2) 10 cm

NOTICE:

Do not cut down dead trees or similar

hard objects. Doing so may damage the tool.

NOTICE:

Do not trim the grass or weeds while

using the shear blades. The shear blades may

become tangled in the grass or weeds.

Hold the tool with both hands, press the switch lever

and pull the switch trigger while pressing the lock-off

lever, and then move it forward.

For basic operation, tilt the shear blades toward the

trimming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the

speed rate of 3 to 4 seconds per meter.

To cut a hedge top evenly, tie a string at the desired

height and trim along it.

If the chip receiver is attached to the shear blades, it

gathers discarded leaves and makes clean-up after-

ward much easier.
