Lubricate the Blades
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the
hedge trimmer blade before and after each use.
1. Stop the motor and disconnect the unit from the
power supply.
2. Lay the pole + hedge trimmer on a at surface. Apply
lightweight machine oil along the edge of the top blade
(Fig. 19). If you will be using the pole + hedge trimmer
for an extended period, it is advisable to stop work
intermittently in order to re-oil the blade.
NOTE: Do not oil while the pole + hedge trimmer is running.
Sharpening the Blades
The blade must be re-sharpened if cutting performance and
behavior begin to deteriorate (i.e. if blades frequently snag
on branches).
1. Stop the motor and disconnect the unit from the power
supply. Clamp the blade in a vise.
2. File the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth with
a smooth round le. Be sure to retain the original angle of
the tooth when ling.
3. Remove the blade from the vise, and power on the motor
until the unsharpened edges of the remaining blade teeth
are exposed.
4. Disconnect the pole + hedge trimmer from the power
supply and repeat the sharpening procedure as necessary.
mWARNING! Do not operate the pole + hedge trimmer
with dull or damaged cutting blades. This may cause overload
and will give unsatisfactory cutting results.
Cleaning the Hedge Trimmer
1. Stop the motor and disconnect the unit from the
power supply.
2. Clean dirt and debris from the body of the pole + hedge
trimmer using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing
or the handle. These parts can be damaged by certain aromatic
oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.
Storage
1. Always place the blade cover on the blade before storing
or transporting the pole + hedge trimmer. Use caution to
avoid the sharp teeth of the blade.
2. Clean the pole + hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing.
Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is
