MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

BLADE CARE

When cutting hedges with heavy sap or
in dusty environments, buildup of sap
and dirt can occasionally cause blades
to stick To prevent this blade stick
condition, clean the blades with a light
coating of liquid silicon lubricant only on
the lubrication area of the cutting blades
(Fig 19) and run the blades briefly to
evenly distribute the lubricant
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ALLOW
LUBRICANT TO DRIP INSIDE THE
BODY OF THE HEDGE TRIMMER.
NEVER USE GREASE SOLVENTS OR
AEROSOL WATER DISPLACEMENT
PRODUCTS. DO NOT OVER
LUBRICATE.

LUBRICATION AREA
INSPECT THE TIP GUARD
If a tip guard is installed, check to make
sure it is not bent or broken A bent tip
guard can prevent free movement of the
cutting blades If the tip guard is bent or
broken, have it replaced at an approved
service location
INSTALL THE BLADE COVER
Slip the blade cover over the cutting
blades to keep them clean, and to
prevent them snagging or cutting people
or objects
