MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

WARNING:

Blades are sharp. To reduce the possibility of serious injury, always wear gloves when performing maintenance on the hedge trimmer blades. When handling blade assembly, do not place your hand or fingers between blades or in any position where they could get pinched or cut. NEVER touch blades or perform maintenance while the hedge trimmer attachment is attached to the engine.

BLADE CARE

Lubricate the cutting blade after each use.

Periodically inspect the blade for damage and wear.

If it becomes necessary to have the blade replaced, take the hedge trimmer to an authorized service center.

LUBRICATING THE BLADE

See Figure 7.

For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the blade before and after each use.

Lay hedge trimmer on a flat surface.

Use a brush to remove debris or clippings from the blade. Wipe any remaining debris away with a clean cloth.

Apply light weight machine oil along the edge of the top blade. Wipe any excess oil from the blade.

Occasionally, you should oil the hedge trimmer during use. Before oiling, stop the hedge trimmer, remove the attach- ment, then oil. You can then resume trimming. Do not oil while hedge trimmer is running.
