WARNING – DANGER 
SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE BEFORE LUBRICATING
OR ADJUSTING THE BLADES.
Notes
Blades adjustment
The care and adjustment of the blades is very important to the efficient operation of the trimmer and especially to the long life of the motor.
When resting, it is often a good idea to use the time to oil the cutting blades.
If a gap exists between the upper and lower blades, follow the procedure below to adjust them so that they fit more closely together.
1.Loosen lock nut.
2.Tighten screw fully, and then turn
3.While holding onto the screw to keep it in position, tighten the lock nut.
4.Check to make sure that the flat washer is loose enough so that it may be turned by pressing on it with a finger.
NOTE: Correct blade adjustment can only be achieved on clean, oiled blades. Screwing in the screw too tightly may make it impossible for the blades to move. Conversely, not screwing in the screw tightly enough may make the blades of the trimmer feel dull and cause leaves and branches to become caught in the blades of the trimmer.
