○
During
work
(for
example,
when
taking
rests)
do
not
leave
the
tool
in
a
place
exposed
to
direct
sunlight
or
high
temperature.
This
will
prevent
proper
cooling
and
could
result
in
damage.
○
Do
not
use
the
tool
for
work
that
exceeds
its
capacity.
Such
operation
could
cause
the
motor
to
lock
up
or
slow
down
and
will
damage
it.
○
Do
not
lower
the
front
end
of
the
blade
to
prevent
sand,
gravel
or
soil
from
entering
the
blade
and
damaging
it
by
making
it
less
sharp.
Trimming
tall
grass
Attempting
to
cut
tall
grass
at
one
go
will
expose
the
blade
to
excessive
load
and
wear
the
blade.
First
remove
1/3
of
the
height
starting
from
the
top
before
trimming
it
to
the
desired
height.
Trimming
around
stone
walls
and
curbs
When
trimming
around
curbs,
move
the
blade
sideways
along
the
curb.
(
Fig.
24
)
This
makes
it
possible
to
trim
without
leaving
untrimmed
edges.

MAINTENANCE
AND
INSPECTION
WARNING
○
Be
sure
to
turn
the
tool
o
ff
and
remove
the
battery
from
the
tool
before
making
inspections
or
carrying
out
maintenance.
○
Do
not
disassemble
to
blade.
Failure
to
heed
this
warning
may
result
in
injury.
○
Use
gloves,
or
cloth
to
protect
your
hands
when
handling
the
blade.
Failure
to
heed
this
warning
may
result
in
injury.
1.
Sharpening
the
blade
(Fig.
19)
Move
an
iron
fi
le
in
the
direction
of
the
arrow
for
a
rough
sharpening
then
use
an
oil
stone
to
give
the
blade
a
good
fi
nish.
(1)
Use
a
fi
ne
iron
fi
le
or
one
of
intermediate
coarseness.
(2)
Coat
the
oil
stone
with
machine
oil
(bicycle
oil
or
the
like).
(3)
Use
a
whetstone
to
gently
remove
any
burrs
from
the
back
of
the
blade
edge.
When
to
sharpen
the
blade
While
this
will
vary
the
type
of
trees
that
are
trimmed
and
how
often
it
is
used,
it
is
a
good
idea
to
sharpen
the
blade
about
once
a
year
to
maintain
a
sharp
edge.
NOTE
Do
not
use
water
for
cleaning
the
blade
to
prevent
rust
or
other
damage.
2.
Lubricating
the
blade
During
trimming,
sap
adhering
to
the
blade
edge
will
increase
load
and
wear
down
the
battery
more
rapidly.
Use
machine
oil
(or
bicycle
oil
or
the
like)
to
lubricate
the
blade
and
wipe
the
blade
with
a
cloth.
To
prevent
the
blade
from
rusting,
be
sure
to
lubricate
the
blade
after
use
and
when
it
will
not
be
used
for
an
extended
period
of
time
before
placing
it
in
the
blade
case.
3.
Inspecting
the
mounting
screws
Regularly
inspect
all
mounting
screws
and
ensure
that
they
are
properly
tightened.
Should
any
of
the
screws
be
loose,
retighten
them
immediately.
Failure
to
do
so
could
result
in
serious
hazard.
4.
Maintenance
of
the
motor
The
motor
unit
winding
is
the
very
“heart”
of
the
power
tool.
Exercise
due
care
to
ensure
the
winding
does
not
become
damaged
and/or
wet
with
oil
or
water.
5.
Cleaning
on
the
outside
When
the
power
tool
is
stained,
wipe
with
a
soft
dry
cloth
or
a
cloth
moistened
with
soapy
water.
Do
not
use
chloric
solvents,
gasoline
or
paint
thinner,
for
they
melt
plastics.
6.
Storage
Store
the
power
tool
in
a
place
in
which
the
temperature
is
less
than
40°C
and
out
of
reach
of
children.
