commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which can
result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATING THE BLADES
See Figure 7.
WARNING:
Always allow the blades of the hedge trimmer
to come to a stop and remove the battery pack
before lubricating. Failure to do so could result
in accidental starting, causing possible serious
personal injury.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge
trimmer blade before and after each use.
Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
Lay the hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light weight
machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
NOTE: If you will be using the hedge trimmer for an extended
time, it is advisable to oil the blade periodically.
Stop the hedge trimmer.
Remove the battery pack.
Lubricate the hedge trimmer as described above.
Reinstall the battery pack and resume use.
SHARPENING THE BLADE
See Figure 8.
Allow the blades of the hedge trimmer to come to a stop
in the position shown. This will allow clearance for the
file between the cutter teeth and the guard teeth.
Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file the exposed
cutting surface of each blade tooth with an 8 in. smooth
round file, 1/4 in. or 7/32 in. in diameter. Be sure to retain
the original angle of the tooth when filing.
Remove the hedge trimmer from the vise, replace the
battery pack, and restart the hedge trimmer. Allow the
blades of the hedge trimmer to come to a stop so that
the unsharpened edges on the other side of the cutter
blade teeth are exposed.
Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer and repeat the
sharpening procedure as described above.
