6. MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or
cause product damage.
NOTE:
Users are not allowed to set the carburettor or ignition, if further assistance is required, take the unit
to a qualified service dealer
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always stop the engine and allow it to cool before cleaning or maintaining
the unit. Never perform cleaning or maintenance while the unit is running. Disconnect the spark plug wire to
prevent the unit from starting accidentally
WARNING:
Wear protective clothing and observe all safety instructions to prevent serious personal
injury.
CLEANING
Use a small brush to clean the outside of the unit. Do not use strong detergents. Household cleaners that
contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic. Wipe off
any moisture with a soft cloth. Correct and regular cleaning is not only important for the safe use of this
product, but also extends its life span.
LUBRICATION
For a long lifespan, make sure that the cutting blades 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
Disconnect the spark plug wire 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 connecting the spark plug wire. Disconnect the spark plug wire and repeat the sharpening process for
the newly exposed teeth
GEARBOX GREASE
There is a grease nipple on the gearbox to fill the gearbox with grease. Use a grease gun to fill with grease
after every 25 working hours.
