The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened
steel and with normal usage, they will not require
resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence,
stones, glass, or other hard objects as shown in Figure U,
you may put a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove
this nick as long as it does not interfere with the movement
of the blade. If it does interfere, remove the battery and use
a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick. If
you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If the
blade is bent, housing cracked, handles broken or if you see
any other condition that may affect the trimmer's operation
contact your local D WALT authorized service center for
e
repairs before putting it back into use.

Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the
unit on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
With the battery removed, use only mild soap and a damp
cloth to clean the unit. Never let any liquid get inside
the unit; never immerse any part of the unit into a liquid.
Prevent the blades from rusting by applying a film of light
machine oil after cleaning.

It is recommended that sharpening of blades be performed
by a D WALT factory service center. However, blade edges
e
may be sharpened by using a fine tooth file
1. Run trimmer until cutting blades
29 are offset enough so the guard tooth cannot be
touched by the file. DO NOT file the guard teeth.
2. Be sure the lock-off lever is engaged, the blade has
stopped, and the battery has been removed before
sharpening blade.
3. Wear proper eye protection and gloves, and be careful
not to cut yourself.
4. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a
fine tooth file. File toward the cutting edge
original cutting angle (38 degrees from horizontal). File
only the straight cutting edges
not file where the cutting edge curves into the center
of the blade.
5. Flip the trimmer over to sharpen the bottom blade.
6. Repeat steps to sharpen the opposite side of each blade.
