The safe use of this product requires an understanding of the information on the product and in this operator's manual as well as a knowledge of the project you are attempting. Before use of this product, familiarize yourself with all ­operating features and safety rules. BOTTOM COVER / LATCH The bottom cover must be removed when installing, removing, or changing the blades. The bottom cover latch has an unlock and lock position; the unlock position disables the shrubber's motor and allows the bottom cover to be removed for blade removal and installation. The bottom cover latch should always be moved to the unlock (motor disabled) position when removing cut or jammed material from the blades or when performing any maintenance to prevent accidental starting. NOTE: Placing the bottom cover latch in the unlock position does not protect against unauthorized usage. Remove the blades and store them in a separate location out of the reach of children to avoid unauthorized use of the shrubber. CHARGER The shrubber comes with a convenient portable charger. LOCK-OUT BUTTON The lock-out button reduces the possibility of accidental starting. SCABBARD The scabbard keeps the operator from coming in contact with the sharp blade when the tool is not in use. It also helps keep the blade from being nicked or damaged when the tool is in storage. SWITCH TRIGGER The switch trigger activates the motor and blades when it is depressed and the lock-out button is pushed. ASSEMBLY WARNING: This battery powered shrubber is always in an operating condition and the blades can move if the switch trigger and lock-out button are pushed. Be careful when removing the shrubber from the carton and during the assembly process to prevent accidental starting, which could result in serious personal injury.
