MAINTENANCE
WARNING — Remove the battery before inspecting,
adjusting, performing maintenance, or
cleaning the unit.
CLEANING
Keep all safety devices, air vents, and motor housing free
of debris and dirt.
Wipe off the housing and the plastic components using a
moist, soft cloth. Do not use strong solvents or detergents
on the plastic housing or plastic components. Certain
household cleaners may cause damage or cause a shock
hazard.
CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes need to be replaced by a
qualified service technician. Do not attempt to replace
them yourself.
LUBRICATION
For a long lifespan, make sure that the cutters are cleaned
and lubricated at regular intervals in order to ensure the
best possible performance. Routinely apply a thin film of
lubricating oil.
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Remove the battery then clamp the blade assembly into
a vise. Make sure the main body of the hedge trimmer is
adequately supported to avoid damage.
File down the exposed cutting surface of each blade with
an 8 inch smooth round file with a diameter of 1/4 to 7/32 of
an inch. Make sure to retain the original angle of the cutter
teeth when filing.
In order to file both sides of each cutter tooth, you may
need to momentarily run the hedge trimmer until the
opposing side of the cutter teeth are exposed.
Do not run the hedge while it is locked into the vise. Make
sure all tools for sharpening have been removed before
installing the battery. Remove the battery pack and repeat
the sharpening process for the newly exposed teeth.
