GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which can result in serious personal injury.
MAINTENANCE
Blades are sharp. When handling the blade assembly,
wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves. Do not place
your hand or fingers between blades or in any position
where they could get pinched or cut. NEVER touch blades
or service unit with the power supply connected.
LUBRICATING THE BLADE
See Figure 8.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge
trimmer blade before and after each use.
 Stop the motor and disconnect from power supply.
 Lay the hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light weight
machine oil along the edge of the top blade.
If you will be using the hedge trimmer for an extended period,
it is advisable to oil the blade during use.
NOTE: Do not oil while the hedge trimmer is running.
 Stop the motor and disconnect from power supply.
 Lubricate the hedge trimmer as described above.
 Reconnect to the power source and resume use.
CLEANING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
 Stop the motor and disconnect from power supply.
 Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer,
using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. They can be damaged by certain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents
such as kerosene.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
 Always place the blade cover on the blade before storing
or transporting the hedge trimmer. Use caution to avoid
the sharp teeth of the blade.
 Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing. Store
the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is inacces-
sible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such
as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
