Lubricating the Blade (Fig . 10)
For best operation and longer blade life,
lubricate the hedge trimmer blade with light-
weight machine oil before and after each use.
1. Remove the battery pack from the hedge
trimmer.
2. Lay the hedge trimmer on a flat surface.
Apply some light-weight machine oil along
the edge of the top blade. If you will be
using the hedge trimmer for an extended
period of time, it is advisable to take a
break, remove the battery, and oil the
blade.
NOTICE: Do not oil the blade while the hedge
trimmer is running.
Transporting and Storing
•
Always place the sheath on the blade before storing or transporting the hedge trimmer. Use
caution to avoid contact with sharp teeth of the blade.
•
Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing.
•
Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is inaccessible to children.
•
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and deicing salts.
To Install the Storage Rail
(Fig . 11)
Always remove the battery pack before storing
or transporting.
Your hedge trimmer is equipped with an ‘Easy
Storage’ rail making it easy to hang the tool up
against the wall.
Securely mount the storage rail on the wall
with 2 screws (not supplied) and horizontally
leveled. Use screws sufficiently strong to hold
the combined weight of the trimmer and battery
pack.
NOTICE:
Always place the blade sheath on
the blade
when storing the tool.
Before storing the tool, wipe off the cutting blades with an oil-soaked rag to prevent corrosion.
