2.Occasionally, you should oil your hedge trimmer attachment during use. Before oiling, stop the engine, then oil. You then can resume trimming. Do not oil while hedge trimmer attachment is running.
OTHER MAINTENANCE
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, turn the
powerhead off 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, housing cracked, or handles broken or if you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer's operation contact a Sears or another qualified service dealer for repairs before putting it back into use.
3.Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
4.With the unit powered off (and the spark plug disconnected), use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
NOTE: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustments should be performed by a Sears or another qualified service dealer using identical replacement parts.
