Using the Makita EN410MP double - sided hedge trimmer couple shaft attachment is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible Makita couple shaft power head (sold separately). Attach the hedge trimmer to the power head securely. When you're ready to trim, hold the tool firmly and guide it along the hedges. Move at a steady pace for an even cut. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like gloves and goggles. When not in use, put on the blade cover to prevent accidental injuries. To keep your hedge trimmer in good shape, clean the blade regularly to remove dirt and debris. Check the gear case for any signs of damage or wear. Also, ensure the tip guard is intact as it helps protect the blade. If you notice any issues, don't hesitate to consult a professional or Makita's customer service.
