MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning or servicing
the unit, stop the motor, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the battery pack. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts can create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
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.
CLEAN THE UNIT
◾
Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air intakes
and cutting blade.
◾
To remove pitch and other sticky residue, spray the
blades with resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so that
the solvent is evenly distributed.
◾
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. Moisture can also cause
a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry
cloth. Never use water for cleaning the tool.
SHARPENING THE CUTTING BLADE
When cutting performance and behavior begin to
deteriorate, i.e. blades frequently snag on branches:
Resharpen the cutting blades.
It is recommended to have the cutting blades resharpened
by a qualified service technician.
NOTICE:
Do not operate your hedge trimmer with dull or
damaged cutting blades. This may cause overload and
will give unsatisfactory cutting results.
LUBRICATING THE BLADE
To prevent rust, it is recommended to lubricate the blades
with anti-rusting oil when it is stored for long time.

HEDGE TRIMMER ATTACHMENT — HTA2000S
WARNING:
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 the unit with battery pack installed.
TRANSMISSION GEARS LUBRICATION
The transmission gears in the gear case need to be
lubricated periodically with gear grease. Check the gear
case grease level about every 50 hours of operation by
removing the sealing screw on the gear case. There are
three sealing screws with one on the side and two on the
top.
If no grease can be seen on the flanks of the gear, follow
the steps below to fill with gear grease up to 3/4 capacity.
Do not completely fill the transmission gears.
1. Depending on which screw you are removing, hold
the hedge trimmer on its side or lay it on its back
so that the sealing screw to be removed is facing
upwards (Fig. O & P).
2. Use the wrench provided to loosen and remove the
sealing screw.
3. Use a grease syringe (not included) to inject some
grease into the screw hole; do not exceed 3/4
capacity.
4. Tighten the sealing screw after injection.
STORING THE UNIT
◾
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
◾
Clean the tool thoroughly before storing it.
◾
Put on the blade scabbard onto the cutting blade
before storing or transporting. Use caution to avoid the
sharp teeth of the blades.
◾
If the hedge trimmer is removed from the power
head and stored separately, fit the end cap on the
attachment shaft to avoid dirt getting into the coupler.
◾
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area, locked-up
or up high, out of the reach of children. Do not store
the unit on or adjacent to fertilizers, gasoline, or other
chemicals.
