Blade Maintenance - Sun joe 24V-SSEG-CT Manual Del Operador

1. Shaping – A hedge should be trimmed to achieve a
trapezoidal form; it should widen toward the bottom on
both sides. Shaping a hedge in this manner improves the
penetration of light to the lower extremities. A general
guideline is to slant the hedge approximately 4 in. (10 cm)
for each 39 in. (1 m) of hedge height.
2. Cutting Sequence – First cut both sides; start at the
bottom and work towards the top. This prevents cuttings
from falling into an area that you have yet to trim.
3. Trimming the Top – Where the branches have grown
extremely long, cut back the hedge in several stages.
The shorter cuttings obtained are best suited for
composting.
4. Pruning Thick Branches – When older hedges are to be
cut a substantial amount, use pruning shears or some
other device to trim thicker branches (greater than 0.3 in.
[8 mm] in diameter) to the desired length before starting
work with the hedge trimmer.
To shape precisely, run a taught line between the extreme
edges of the hedge and then trim along the length of the
line.
Ensure that the blade does not come into contact with any
object made of hard material that could damage it, such
as fencing wire or metallic plant supports.

of time, it is recommended that the blade rail also be
treated with spray lubricant at regular intervals during
operation.
4. Inspect the product before each use for worn and
damaged parts. Do not operate it if you find broken and
worn parts.

Blade Maintenance

To ensure years of efficient and trouble-free operation, blade
cleaning should be performed if sap and debris have built-
up, or if you live in an area where the soil is sandy. Cleaning
unusually heavy deposits may require removal of the blades.
