Makita DUH501 Manuel D'instruction page 13

Hold the tool with both hands, press the switch lever
and pull the switch trigger while pressing the lock-off
lever, and then move it forward.
For basic operation, tilt the shear blades toward the
trimming direction and move it calmly and slowly at the
speed rate of 3 to 4 seconds per meter.
To cut a hedge top evenly, tie a string at the desired
height and trim along it.
If the chip receiver is attached to the shear blades, it
gathers discarded leaves and makes clean-up after-
ward much easier.
To cut a hedge side evenly, cut from the bottom to top.
When trimming to make a round shape (trimming box-
wood or rhododendron, etc.), trim from the root to the
top for a beautiful finish.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
