LUBRICATING THE BLADE
See Figure 8.
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.
ATTACHING THE STORAGE HANGER
See Figure 9.
There are two ways to hang the attachment for storage.
 To use the hanger cap, push in the button and place the
hanger cap over the end of the attachment shaft. Slightly
rotate the cap from side to side until the button locks into
place.
 The secondary hole in the attachment shaft can be used
for hanging purposes as well.
STORING THE ATTACHMENT
 Clean the attachment thoroughly and lubricate before
storing.
 Store the attachment indoors in a dry, well-ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children.
 Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemi-
