BLADE MAINTENANCE – HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING
Battery units do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. To prevent serious personal
injury, always remove the battery and take extra
precautions and care when performing maintenance,
service or for changing the cutting blade.
WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery
pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the unit.
DANGER
If blade jams on any electrical cord or line, DO NOT
TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS.
Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated
rear handle or lay it down and away from you in a safe
manner. Disconnect the electrical service to the
damaged line or cord before attempting to free the
blade from the line or cord. Failure to heed this
warning will result in serious personal injury or
possible death.
both hands, one hand to pull the trigger lock button
backward and squeeze the trigger, and the other
hand to squeeze the front handle.
■ Release the trigger lock button and continue to
squeeze the trigger for extended operation.
STOPPING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
■ Release the trigger to stop the hedge trimmer.
■ Upon release of the trigger, the trigger lock button will
be automatically reset to the lock position.
■ Remove battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
OPERATING TIPS
■ Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy
shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and
slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
■ Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
15 mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed into
the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
■ If desired, you can use a string to help cut your
hedge level. Decide how high you want the hedge.
Then, stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this
height. Trim the hedge just above this guide line of
string. See Figure 4. Trim the side of a hedge so that
it will be slightly narrower at the top. See Figure 5.
More of the hedge will be exposed when shaped this
way, and it will be more uniform. If blades do become
jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades to stop and
remove the battery pack before attempting to remove
the obstruction.
■ Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
action, so that the stems are fed directly into the
cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems
and will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing
movement.
WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use. Remove all
objects such as cords, lights, wire, or string which can
become entangled in the cutting blade and create a
risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt,
oil,grease, etc. When servicing use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts can create
a hazard or cause product damage.
CAUTION
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that may damage, weaken, or destroy
plastics.
6. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
BLADE CARE
■ Lubricate the cutting blades after each use.
■ Periodically inspect the blades for damage and wear.
■ Always use the manufacturer’s specied replacement
blades.
TO LUBRICATE BLADE See Figure 7.
■ Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer.
■ For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate
the hedge trimmer blade before and after each use.
Before lubricating, remove the battery pack and lay
hedge trimmer on a at surface. Apply light weight
machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
■ Occasionally, you should oil your hedge trimmer
during prolonged use. Before oiling, stop hedge
trimmer, remove battery pack, then oil. You then can
resume trimming. Do not oil while hedge trimmer is
running.
