Lubricate the Blades

For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge
trimmer blade before and after each use.
1. Stop the motor and disconnect the unit from the power
supply.
2. Lay the pole/hedge trimmer on a flat surface.
Apply lightweight machine oil along the edge of the top
blade (Fig. 20). If you will be using the pole/hedge trimmer
for an extended period, it is advisable to stop work
intermittently in order to re-oil the blade.

Sharpening the Blades

The blade must be re-sharpened if cutting performance and
behavior begin to deteriorate (i.e. if blades frequently snag on
branches).
1. Stop the motor and disconnect the unit from the power
supply. Clamp the blade in a vise.
2. File the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth with
a smooth round file. Be sure to retain the original angle of
the tooth when filing.
3. Remove the blade from the vise, and power on the motor
until the unsharpened edges of the remaining blade teeth
are exposed.
4. Disconnect the pole/hedge trimmer from the power supply
and repeat the sharpening procedure as necessary.

housing or the handle. These parts can be damaged by certain
aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as
kerosene.

or transporting the pole/hedge trimmer. Use caution to
avoid the sharp teeth of the blade.
