5.2 Grass Trimming (with Grass Shear Blade)

Use the 90mm grass shear blade for precise trimming of grass edges, small patches of lawn, or around obstacles.

• Move the tool slowly and steadily along the area to be trimmed.
• Avoid forcing the blade through thick or wet grass, as this can strain the motor and reduce battery life.

5.3 Hedge Trimming (with Hedge Trimmer Blade)

Use the 120mm hedge trimmer blade for shaping and pruning small hedges, shrubs, and bushes.

• Hold the tool firmly with the hedge trimmer blade positioned at the desired cutting angle.

• Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 8mm (tooth distance).
