Preparation of shear to work
Attention! Before all assembly and mounting activities, you should switch off the shear from power supply, The shear, which is
mains powered, should be disconnected from the wall outlet, the shear, which is battery operated, should be disconnect from the
battery.
Visually inspect the tool, If you note any damage do not approach the work before fixing them. Remove the cover from blades
and check them for a damage.
Preparing the workplace
Before starting work, you should prepare the workplace. Design a safety zone around the workplace, which will not be accessible
for bystanders. Make sure, that around the workplace there are not obstacles, which can cause a collision of operator or shear
during operation.
Connecting the shear to power (II)
Insert the battery in the power socket, with its pins facing to the inside of the shear and to the top, until the battery latches will lock.
Make sure, that the battery will not slip out during work.
You should disconnect the battery by pressing both clips, and then remove the battery from the shear housing.
Starting and stopping the shear
Make sure, that the battery is connected to the shear, and on the edges there is not the shield, and that they have no contact with
any part of the body and other objects.
Adopt an position, that ensures balance. With one hand hold the front handle and press the lock switch. With the other hand grasp
the rear handle. Pressing the switch will start the shear.
While you are working, all the time you should keep pressed the lock switch and switch.
The shear is stopped after releasing pressure on the switch. shear will also stop after you release the pressure on the lock switch,
but in this case the blades are no longer in motion.
After a complete stoppage of shear movement, you should disconnect the shear from the power supply by disconnecting it from
the battery. Then proceed to maintenance.
Work with the shear
Do not allow operation of the device at low rev speeds or during startup.
The work is most effective when the shearing takes place through full of broad movements. In order to achieve greater efficiency
you can tilt the scissors at an angle of about 5-10 O in the cutting direction (III).
To achieve an equal height of a hedge, you can use a fishing line stretched along the cutting line. You should cut the part
of hedge which is located above the line.
A vertical cut of the hedge is also possible. It is recommended to cut with moves along an arc from bottom to top, and then from
top to bottom, to use both sides of the blades (IV).
Tips useful when working
You should ensure balance and proper posture while you work. Be extremely careful when working on slippery, sloping or uneven
ground.
During operation, the blade must be constantly monitored. Do not carry out the cut in places which are remaining out of sight.
Before you start your works, you should carefully inspect the work place, remove any loose branches and remnants of previous
cutting. Take special precautions when processing high hedges. Before starting work, check also the other side of the hedge.
Front cover of the shear transmission heats up during operation. To avoid burns, avoid contact with the transmission cover.
When you work you should use regular breaks. The device, during its operation, emits noise and vibration, that affect the equip-
ment operator. The use of regular breaks and personal protective equipment such as gloves, hearing and eye protection, can
reduce the impact of device operation on the condition of operator.
You should start the work being healthy and in good shape. In the event of nausea, headache, visual disturbances (eg. reduced
field of vision), hearing problems, dizziness you should immediately stop working with the device.
In the case of shear jam during its operation, you should immediately switch off the shear using the power switch and disconnect
it from the battery. Wait till all the shear elements cool down. and then proceed to remove the cause of the jam.
If, during the jam any part of blade or covers is damaged or deformed, then it must be replaced or repaired before the start of
device operation.
