Cleaning and Storage
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge
trimmer blade with a light machine oil.
• Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
• Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air intakes
and the cutting blade.
• To remove sap and other sticky residue, spray the blades
with a resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so that the solvent
is
evenly distributed then wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
• Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Avoid using
solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease,
etc.
• If the trimmer vibrates abnormally, stop motor immediately.
Abnormal vibration usually indicates a mechanical problem.
Continued operation could lead to injury or damage.

or transporting the hedge trimmer. Use caution to avoid the
sharp teeth of the blade.
• Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is
