MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
BLADE CARE
■
Lubricate the cutting blades after each use.
■
Periodically inspect the blades for damage and wear.
■
Always use the manufacturer’s specified replacement
blades.
TO LUBRICATE BLADE
■
Remove battery pack from unit.
■
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate
the shrubber blade before and after each use. Before
lubricating, remove the battery pack and lay shrubber
blade on a flat surface. Apply light weight machine oil
along the edge of the top blade.
■
Occasionally, you should oil your shrubber blade during
use. Before oiling, stop the unit, remove battery pack,
then oil. You then can resume trimming. Do not oil while
shrubber blade is running.
GRASS SHEAR / SHRUBBER LUBRICATION
All of the gear system in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating procedures.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify this unit or create or mount any
accessory not specifically recommended in this manual
for use with this unit. Any such alteration or modification
is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious personal injury.
WARNING
Examine shrubber blade frequently to assure all parts
are unbroken and securely attached. Make sure all
screws and fasteners are securely tightened to prevent
the risk of serious personal injury.
CLEANING THE GRASS SHEAR / SHRUBBER
■
Remove the battery pack.
WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery
pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the unit.
■
Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
■
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing
or the handle. They can be damaged by certain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents
such as kerosene.
■
Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any
moisture with a soft dry cloth.
■
Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small
vacuum cleaner brush to clean the air vents on the
battery pack housing and motor housing.
■
Keep the air vents free of obstructions.
STORING THE GRASS SHEAR / SHRUBBER
■
Clean the unit thoroughly before storing. Store the
cutting blade in a dry, well-ventilated place that is
inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive
agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
■
Always place blade cover on cutting blades before
storing.
■
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room temperature
will shorten battery pack life.
■
Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait for
battery pack to cool and charge immediately.
■
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the
temperature, the quicker they lose their charge. If you
store your unit for long periods of time without using it,
recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice
will prolong battery pack life.
