WARNING DANGER
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADES WHILE SERVICING THE HEDGE TRIMMER.
BE SURE TRIMMER IS SECURED, UNPLUGGED, AND BLADES ARE GUARDED
WHILE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
The care and adjustment of the blades is very important
to the efficient operation of the trimmer and especially
to the long life of the motor.
Make sure the trimmer is
NOT
plugged in!
1.
Turn trimmer upside down. Place trimmer in vice,
clamping on the sides of frame bar.
Be careful!
Blades are sharp!
2.
Using a 7/16” wrench, loosen all blade locknuts
and unscrew the large head screws by two turns.
3.
Starting with the screw nearest the gear housing,
tighten the screw until the protective comb of the
Double Edged trimmer can just be moved with
finger pressure. (A .0015" (1 1/2 thou.) feeler gauge
just slips under the blade guard or comb when
properly adjusted.) Tighten the locknuts while
holding the screw stationary in its correct adjusted
position. Re-check to make sure the blade guard or
comb can still be moved.
4.
Repeat Step 3 on each screw in turn until all are
correctly adjusted.
NOTE: CORRECT BLADE ADJUSTMENT CAN
ONLY BE ACHIEVED ON CLEAN, OILED BLADES.
