MAINTENANCE
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 6.
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.
