Maintenance

Oiling the Trimmer Blade
Note: The trimmer blade should be oiled before and after each
use.
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery.
2. Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer,
using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
Note: 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.
3. Lay the hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light weight
machine oil along the edge of the top blade. If you will be
using the hedge trimmer for an extended period of time, it is
advisable to oil the blade during use.
Note: Do not oil while the hedge trimmer is running.

Troubleshooting

Using the battery when it is hot can reduce the operating time.
The battery will automatically stop working when it is overheated
to prevent damage to it. Remove the battery from the charger and
allow it to cool before placing it back into the trimmer.
Using the battery when there is moisture on the leads can cause
the trimmer to malfunction. Allow the battery to dry or wipe it dry
before placing it back into the trimmer.
