MAINTENANCE

-Before performing any maintenance work on the pole hedge cutter (blade cleaning, etc.), always stop the engine and wait until the engine has cooled down. As an additional safety precaution, also remove the spark plug cap.

-Do not try to straighten or weld a bent or broken cutting blade. Always replace damaged blades.

-Stop the engine at regular intervals to check the cutter blades for possible damage (perform a tapping-resonance test to detect hard-to-see hairline cracks). Always make sure that the teeth of the blades are sharp.

-Clean the pole hedge trimmer at regular intervals. During cleaning also check that all screws, nuts and bolts are well tightened.

-To reduce the risk of fire, never service or store the pole hedge trimmer in the vicinity of open fires.

-Always wear rugged protective gloves when handling the cutter blades.

-Contact your dealer for replacement cutter blades.

Sharpening the blade

If the cutting blades have become blunt and cutting performance is poor, have the blades sharpened by an authorized service agent.
