Pruning
Your hedge trimmer is versatile. It can also be used for
trimming back new growth from small shrubs onto the
driveway or into the garden.
General inspection
1. Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
Maintenance
1. Store the tool, instruction manual and accessories in a
secure, dry place. In this way you will always have all the
information and parts ready to hand.
2. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
3. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with compressed air or a rag.
4. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
5. Remove battery from tool during storage.
6. Replace blade cover when the tool is not being used.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
Blade maintenance
Wear gloves when handing or cleaning the cutting blade.
Always clean the cutting blade after operation and lubricate
with protective spray. During longer cutting jobs, we
recommend periodically lubricating the cutting blade with
protective spray.
Visually check the condition of the cutting edges of the
cutting blade. Check tightness of blade bolts. Ensure that
the blade is covered with the blade protection supplied.
Lubrication
WARNING.
Switch off and remove the battery before
carrying out any maintenance on the tool.
After each use, clean the blades and lightly lubricate
with general purpose oil or spray lubricant.
