Troubleshooting - Hitachi CH 22ECP2 62ST Safety Instructions And Instruction Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING

Use the inspections in the table below if the tool does not operate normally. If this does not remedy the
problem, consult your dealer or the Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
Symptom
Tool Does not operate.
The tool does not trim
well.
Possible cause
Foreign matter is lodged in the
blade.
The blade stopped because it
was used to cut a branch whose
width exceeded the blade's
cutting capacity.
NOTE
Work that will repeatedly
cause the blade to stop will
eventually damage the tool.
English
Remedy
When there is foreign matter in
the blade, use a pair of tongs or
similar tool to remove it.
Take great care since the
tool may start operating when
the foreign matter has been
removed.
Sap or rust may also prevent the
blade from operating. Use a wire
brush or similar tool to remove
sap or rust.
Some garden trees have wood
that is very hard and may be
beyond the capacity of the tool
even if it is of a width that is
within normal capacity. Use a
pair of pruning shear to remove
thick branches before starting
work.
An oblique cut may also exceed
the capacity of the tool since the
length of the cut increases. Be
sure to trim thick branches
