MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
BLADE LUBRICATION
Before lubricating, be WARNING: sure your hedge trim-
mer is disconnected from the power supply. Failure to do so can result in accidental starting, causing serious personal injury.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the garden trimmer blade before and after each use. Apply light machine oil along the edge of the top strap. (Fig. 6) Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected and oiled occasionally during use.
1.The cutting blades are made from high quality, hard- ened 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, unplug unit 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 professional service cen- ter 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 unplugged, 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.
To assure prod- IMPORTANT: uct SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjust- ments should be performed by an profession- al service center using identical replacement parts.
