Blade adjustments
Extended use of the pole hedge trimmer will gradually wear down the blades. Readjust the blades if cutting performance deteriorates noticeably. For adjustment of the blades follow the instructions below.
1.Release nut .
2.Tighten screw lightly until resistance is felt. Then turn the screw in the opposite direction for a quarter or half turn.
3.Hold screw in place with a screwdriver and tighten nut .
4.After adjustment lubricate the blades with a thin film of light oil.
5.Start the engine and pull the throttle lever several times to set the blades in motion. Continue for approx. one minute.
6.Stop the engine and wait until the blades come to a standstill. Cautiously touch the blades with your bare hand. Adjustment is correct if the blades are warm, but not too hot to touch. If the blades are too hot to be touched, release screw for another quarter to half a turn and repeat steps 5~6 to confirm proper adjustment.
NOTE: Always stop the engine and remove the spark plug cap before adjusting the blades!
The blades have grooves around the truss screws . Always keep these grooves clean so that they can be inspected for possible damage.
