SHARPENING THE CUTTING BLADE
1. Start and stop your hedge trimmer until the cutter
blade and the guard are slightly offset, as shown in
Fig. I. This will allow clearance for the file between
cutter teeth and guard teeth.
2. Remove the battery pack from your hedge trimmer.
3. Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file the
exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth. Remove
as little material as possible. Be sure to retain the
original angle of each tooth when filing.
4. Remove the hedge trimmer from the vise; restart it
and stop it to expose the unsharpened edges of the
blade teeth.
5. Remove the battery pack and repeat the sharpening
procedure above.
NOTICE:
Do not operate your hedge trimmer with dull or
damaged cutting blades. This may cause overload and
will give unsatisfactory cutting results.
LUBRICATING THE BLADE (Fig. J)
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the
hedge trimmer blade with light weight machine oil before
and after each use.
Remove the battery pack and lay the trimmer onto a flat
surface. Apply the oil along the edge of the top blade.
NOTICE:
For extended using period, oil the blade during
cutting operation.
WARNING:
Do not oil while the hedge trimmer is
running.
