■
Re-Install the four (4) blade screws and tighten
securely.
■
Re-Install retaining plate, washer and retaining ring.
■
Re-Install the bar plate over the two pins.
■

and “Installing the Blade”.
BLADE MAINTENANCE – HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING
Battery units do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in
operating condition. To prevent serious personal
injury, always remove the battery and take
extra precautions and care when performing
maintenance, service or for changing the
cutting blade.
WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, remove
the battery pack before servicing, cleaning,
or removing material from the unit.
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 hedge trimmer.
■
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the
hedge trimmer blade before and after each use. Before
lubricating, remove the battery pack and lay hedge
trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light weight machine oil
along the edge of the top blade. See Figure 8.
■
Occasionally, you should oil your hedge trimmer
during use. Before oiling, stop hedge trimmer, remove
battery pack, then oil. You then can resume trimming.
Do not oil while hedge trimmer is running.
SHARPENING BLADE
■
Allow the blades of hedge trimmer to come to a stop in
the position shown in Figure 9. This will allow clearance
for the file between cutter teeth and guard teeth.
■
Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer.
■
Clamp blade assembly in a vice and file the exposed
cutting surface of each blade tooth with an 203 mm
(8 inch) smooth round file, 6.4 mm (1/4 inch) or
5.6 mm (7/32 inch) diameter. Be sure to retain the
original angle of tooth when filing.
■
Remove the hedge trimmer from the vice, replace
battery pack and restart the hedge trimmer. Allow the
blades of the hedge trimmer to come to a stop so that
the unsharpened edges of the cutter blade teeth
are exposed.
■
Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer and repeat
the sharpening procedure as described above.
