5.2 Bruk av gresssaksbladet

• Attach the 5-inch grass shear blade as described in Section 4.2.
• Hold the tool with the blade parallel to the ground or at a slight angle, depending on the desired cut.
• Move the tool slowly and steadily along the edge of the grass, allowing the blades to cut cleanly.
• Avoid forcing the tool through thick patches of grass; make multiple passes if necessary.

• Attach the 8-inch shrub shear blade as described in Section 4.2.
• Hold the tool firmly and guide the blades along the desired cutting line.
• For best results, use a sweeping motion, cutting small amounts of material at a time.
• Do not attempt to cut branches thicker than 5/16-inch to prevent damage to the tool and blades.
