Blade Maintenance
Your trimmer should be stopped and oiled occasionally during use.
1. The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel and with normal usage,
they will not require resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence, stones,
glass or other hard objects, you may put a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove
this nick as long as it does not interfere with the movement of the blade. If it does
interfere, stop the engine and use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove
the nick.
2. If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If the blade is bent, the housing
cracked, or handles broken or if you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer’s
operation contact an authorised service centre for repairs before using again.
3. Fertilisers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the
corrosion of metals. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilisers or chemicals.
4. With the unit stopped, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the the outside of
the trimmer. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
Blade lubrication
Warning.
Before lubricating, be sure
your unit is switched off and blades
have come to a complete stop. For easier
operation and longer blade life, lubricate
the blade before and after each use.
Apply light machine oil along the edge
of the blade bar (Fig 6A).
Greasing
The engine requires re-greasing after approximately every 25 hours of operation.
• Apply lithium grease into the gearbox through the grease fitting after 25 hours
running (Fig 6B) (A).
