ADJUSTING THE CUTTING BLADES
CAUTION-DO NOT TOUCH THE SHARPENED EDGES OF THE CUTTING BLADES. THE
CUTTING BLADES ARE EXTREMELY SHARP AND DANGEROUS AT ALL TIMES. ALWAYS
WEAR GLOVES TO HELP PROTECT YOUR HANDS AND FINGERS FROM INJURY.
Before operating the Hedge Trimmer check the adjustment of the cutting blades. Blades
that are too loose may vibrate and will not provide a clean smooth cut.
CAUTION-BLADES THAT ARE TOO TIGHT CAN CAUSE OVERLOADING
WHICH MAY DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT.
To adjust the cutting blades, refer to the illustrations and locate the screws.
Loosen the nuts.
Gently turn the screws in until snug, then turn the
screws back out one-fourth to a half. While hold-
ing the screws in place, tighten the nuts. Liberally
coat the cutting blades with light oil. Start the
engine and operate the Hedge Trimmer at full
speed for at least one minute. Stop the engine,
when the blades are motionless, touch the blades
with your hand.
The blades should be warm, if they are too hot to
touch, loosen the screws 1/2 turn.
