Sharpening the cutting blade
1. Start and stop your hedge
trimmer until the cutter blade
and the guard are slightly
offset.
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.
4. Remove the hedge trimmer from
the vise and insert the battery pack. Repeat
steps 1-3 for the unsharpened edges of the
blade teeth.
Note:
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

weight machine oil before and after each use.
1. Remove the battery pack from the hedge
trimmer.

Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the bottom and cut upwards.
Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be slightly narrower at the top. This
shape will expose more of the hedge, resulting in a more uniform growth.
