Using the Makita EN401MP Articulating Hedge Trimmer Attachment is a breeze. First, make sure you have a compatible Makita Couple Shaft Power Head. Attach the trimmer to the power head as per the instructions. When trimming, use the 13 - angle settings on the 20 - inch double - sided blade to reach both high and low hedges easily. You can quickly change the blade angle with the angle change lever. For transport and storage, adjust the blade to 180 degrees so it lies along the shaft. When it comes to maintenance, keep the commercial - duty gear case clean and lubricated regularly. Check the tip guard often to ensure it's protecting the blade from wear. Always store the attachment in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
