Using the Makita XMU05Z grass shear is easy. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 18V LXT® battery (sold separately). Insert the battery into the tool and you're ready to go. Hold the shear with the rubber - coated soft grip for a comfortable and stable hold. Start trimming the grass by gently guiding the tool along the area you want to cut. For changing the blade, you don't need any tools. Just follow the simple steps provided to remove the old blade and install a new one. If you want to use it as a hedge trimmer, you can quickly change the blade (hedge trimmer blade sold separately). When it comes to maintenance, keep the blades clean after each use. Wipe them down to remove any grass or debris. Avoid using the tool in wet conditions as much as possible to prevent damage. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and protect the tool from overloading, over - discharging, and overheating. Remember, this tool comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to Makita's customer service.
