Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery
from the tool before making inspections or
carrying out maintenance.
●
Do not disassemble to blade. Failure to heed this
warning may result in injury.
●
Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when
handling the blade. Failure to heed this warning
may result in injury.
1. Sharpening the blade (Fig. 12)
Move an iron file in the direction of the arrow for a
rough sharpening then use an oil stone to give the
blade a good finish.
(1) Use a fine iron file or one of intermediate
coarseness.
(2) Coat the oil stone with machine oil (bicycle oil or
the like).
(3) Use a whetstone to gently remove any burrs from
the back of the blade edge.
When to sharpen the blade
While this will vary the type of trees that are trimmed
and how often it is used, it is a good idea to sharpen the
blade about once a year to maintain a sharp edge.

Fig. 12
2. Lubricating the blade
During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge
will increase load and wear down the battery more
rapidly. Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like)
to lubricate the blade and wipe the blade with a
cloth. To prevent the blade from rusting, be sure
to lubricate the blade after use and when it will
not be used for an extended period of time before
placing it in the blade case.
3. Check the Screws
Loose screws are dangerous. Regularly inspect
them and make sure they are tight.
CAUTION
Using this power tool with loosened, screws is
extremely dangerous.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
5. Check for Dust
Dust may be removed with a soft cloth or a cloth
dampened with soapy water.
Do not use bleach, chlorine, gasoline or thinner,
for they may damage the plastics.
6. Transport of the tool
Remove the battery and attach the blade case to
the blade before carrying this tool.
If you carry it without the blade case, the blade
may come in contact with your body, causing
injury.
