USING THE SHRUB SHEAR (Fig. F)
WARNING:
If the 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 hedge by the insulated rear 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. Failure
to heed this warning will result in serious personal injury
or possible death.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, keep
hands away from blades. Do not attempt to remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when the blades are
moving. Make sure that the blades have totally stopped
and the battery pack is removed before clearing jammed
material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting
blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the unit.
WARNING:
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Remove all objects, such as cords, lights, wire, or string
which can become entangled in the cutting blade and
create a risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Avoid trimming too much at one time or
through the heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to
bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
NOTICE:
For new growth, a wide sweeping is suitable
for the stems fed directly into the cutting blade. For older
growth, a sawing movement is good for trimming the
thicker stems. A non-powered hand saw or pruning saw is
suggested for trimming the large stems first.

12-VOLT LITHIUM-ION GRASS/SHRUB SHEAR — CHT2000E
Shearing New Growth
A wide, sweeping motion is most effective, feeding the
blade teeth through the twigs. A slight downward tilt of
the blade in the direction of motion gives the best cutting
results. One sweep will usually cut all twigs in the blade's
path.
Shearing Heavier Growth
To cut older growth with thicker twigs, use a little extra
pressure as you feed the blade through the growth. This
clears the blade faster, and helps to feed the thicker twigs
into the blade teeth. Slowly feed the tool through heavy
branches, using only a portion of the cutting edges. If the
tool stalls on these heavy pieces, stop immediately and
release the trigger switch.
USING THE GRASS SHEAR (Fig. G)
WARNING:
Be sure to carefully read and follow the
Safety Instructions in this Operator's Manual.
1) Use grass shear blade only for cutting grass and
weeds.
2) For best results, shear only on a dry day. However,
water or moisture in the grass or on the ground does
not create an electric shock hazard with this tool.
3) Keep your free hand well away from the blade, and
maintain a stable working position so that you don't
slip. Do not overreach.
4) Feed the blade into the grass at a rate that allows it
to maintain its cutting speed. Feed slower if the blade
slows down. Watch out for foreign objects in the
grass.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the product when cleaning
or performing any maintenance.
CLEANING
◾
Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air intakes
and cutting blade.
◾
To remove pitch and other sticky residue, spray the
blades with resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so that
the solvent is evenly distributed.
