MAINTENANCE
 Clean all loose debris from the gear head.
 Remove the grease plug by rotating counterclockwise.
 Check the level of grease present. Grease should fill the
gear case and be visible at the bottom of the grease plug
hole.
 If necessary, add grease using a manual grease gun or
squeeze tube just until it reaches the bottom of the grease
plug hole. DO NOT OVERFILL.
 Reinstall the grease plug and tighten securely.
Sharpening the Blade
See Figure 9.
 Allow the blades of the hedge trimmer to come to a stop
in the position shown. This will allow clearance for the
file between the cutter teeth and the guard teeth.
 Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
 Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file the exposed
cutting surface of each blade tooth with an 8 in. smooth
round file, 1/4 in. or 7/32 in. in diameter. Be sure to retain
the original angle of the tooth when filing.
 Remove the hedge trimmer from the vise, replace the
battery pack, and restart the hedge trimmer. Allow the
blades of the hedge trimmer to come to a stop so that
the unsharpened edges on the other side of the cutter
blade teeth are exposed.
 Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer and repeat the
sharpening procedure as described above.

Cleaning the Hedge Trimmer

 Slide the blade cover over the blade.
 Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer,
using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
NOTICE
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing or
the handle. They can be damaged by certain aromatic oils
such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.
 Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture
with a soft dry cloth.
 Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum
cleaner brush to clear dust or debris from the air vents
on the motor housing.
Storing the Hedge Trimmer
See Figure 10.
 Remove the battery pack and store it out of the reach of
children when storing the hedge trimmer.
 Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing. Store
the hedge trimmer in a dry, well-ventilated place that is
inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents
such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
 Always place the blade cover on the cutting blades before
storing.
To secure the battery pack, make sure the battery is fully
seated and the latch on the tool is snapped into place.
Charge the battery pack according to the instructions
included with your model.
Release switch trigger, wait several seconds, then
depress trigger again. Motor should restart. If it doesn't,
remove battery pack, reinstall battery pack, then try again.
