Hedge Trimmer blades are very sharp. Touching them may
lead to severe personal injury. Use long hex wrenches and
sockets with extensions when tightening blade screws and
blade lock nuts to keep hands at a safe distance from sharp
blades.
1. Tighten blade screws (A) securely.
2. Hold blade screws (A) to prevent turning, and tighten lock
nuts (B).
Locking ability of Hedge Trimmer blade lock nuts will diminish
each time they are removed. Replace if turning resistance is not
felt when installing lock nuts.
