Trimming Instructions

1. WORKING POSITION (Fig.E) – Maintain proper footing

and balance and do not overreach. Wear safety goggles,

non-skid footwear when trimming. Hold the unit firmly in

both hands and turn the unit on. Refer to Proper Hand

Position for furtherinformation.

2. TRIMMING NEW GROWTH (Fig.F) – Using a wide,

sweeping motion and feeding the blade teeth through the

twigs, is most effective. A slight downward tilt of the blade

in the direction of motion gives the bestcutting.

3. LEVEL HEDGES (Fig.G) – To obtain exceptionally level

hedges a piece of string can be stretched along the length

of the hedge as aguide.

4. SIDE TRIMMING HEDGES (Fig.H) – Orient the trimmer as

shown and begin at the bottom and sweepup.

5. POWERSAW (Fig.I) – For branches too large for the

blade

6

to cut, use the powersaw

11

. Position the

powersaw as close to the bottom of the branch as possible.

Place the powersaw shoe against the branch. Turn the

hedge trimmer on as described above, allowing the tool to

work at its own pace until the branch is fullycut.



DANGER: KEEP HANDS AWAY FROMBLADES.



WARNING: To guard against injury, observe the following:

• READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USING. SAVE

INSTRUCTIONMANUAL.

• Check the hedge for foreign objects such as wires or

fences before eachuse.

• KEEP HANDS ON HANDLES. DON’TOVERREACH.

• DO NOT USE UNDER WETCONDITIONS.



CAUTION: BLADE MAY COAST AFTER TURNOFF.

MAINTENANCE

Your STANLEYFATMAX power tool has been designed

to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of

maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon

proper tool care and regularcleaning.



WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack

before making any adjustments or removing/

installing attachments or accessories. An accidental

start-up can causeinjury.

The charger and battery pack are notserviceable.

Blade Maintenance (Fig.J)

The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel

and with normal usage, they will not require resharpening.

However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence (Fig.J), stones, glass,

or other hard objects, you may put a nick in the blade. There

is no need to remove this nick as long as it does not interfere

with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere, remove

the battery and use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to

remove the nick. If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for

damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked, handles broken

or if you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer’s

operation contact your local authorized service center for repairs

before putting it back intouse.

Blade Lubrication (Fig.K)

1. After use, remove thebattery.

2. Carefully apply a resin solvent to the exposedblades.

3. Insert the battery and turn the trimmer vertical with the

blades toward the ground and run the trimmer for a few

seconds to fully disperse thelubrication.

4. Keeping your hands away from the blade, slide the

sheath

7

over the blade until it snaps into place as shown

in FigureK.

Storage

Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which

greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the unit

on or adjacent to fertilizers orchemicals.

Cleaning



WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing

with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around

the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved

dust mask when performing thisprocedure.



WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals

for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These

chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.

Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.

Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any

part of the tool into aliquid.
