Maintenance
Periodically check the hedge trimmer for misalignment,
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the hedge trimmer operation. If
damaged, have the unit repaired before use.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
All maintenance, repair and inspection work should be
performed by an authorized service center.
