BLADES
The cu ng blades can be protected and kept lubricated by periodically applying Maintenance Lubric

If a gap exists between the upper & lower blades, follow the below steps to adjust them, so that they are closer together
and cu ng to their op

While holding the screw in pos on with a screwdriver, hten the locknut with a spanner.
Check to make sure, flat washer (C) is loose enough to be turned by your finger.
Tightening the screw too
tly may make it impossible for the blades to move. Conversely, not htening the screw
sufficiently may make the blades feel dull and cause leaves and branches to become caught in the blades.
GEAR CASE
The gears are lubricated by Mu -purpose Lithium based grease in the gear case. Input new grease EVERY 25 HOURS of use
or more often, depending on the use cond ons.
When adding lubricant, use a grease gun to insert the grease into the three grease nipples located on the gear case.
