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 prolonged 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 the hedge trimmer to come to a
stop in the position shown in Figure 7. 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.
HEDGE TRIMMER LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
suf
fi
cient 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 hedge trimmer. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and could result
in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING
Examine hedge trimmer 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 HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery
pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the unit.
Remove the battery pack.
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 HEDGE TRIMMER
Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing.
Store the hedge trimmer 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. See Figure 8.
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 fully 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.
DISPOSAL
Waste electrical products should not be
disposed of together with household waste.
Please recycle where facilities exist. Check
with your local authority or retailer for
recycling advice.
