2. Lubricating the blade
During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge will increase load and wear down the
battery more rapidly. Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like) to lubricate the blade and
wipe the blade with a cloth. To prevent the blade from rusting, be sure to lubricate the blade
after use and when it will not be used for an extended period of time before placing it in the
blade case.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened. Should
any of the screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in
serious hazard.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.
5. Cleaning on the outside
When the hedge trimmer is stained, wipe with a soft dry cloth or a cloth moistened with
soapy water. Do not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt plastics.
6. Storage
Store the hedge trimmer in a place in which the temperature is less than 40°C and out of
reach of children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when stored for a long period (3 months or
more). The battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be charged when used, if
stored for a long period.
