4. MAINTENANCE
Your Hedge trimmer is designed to provide many hours of trouble free service.
Regular scheduled maintenance will help your hedge trimmer achieve that goal. If you
are unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your
hedge trimmer to the address on the warranty card for maintenance. To help you
decide whether you want to Do-It-Yourself or have the address on the warranty card do
it, each maintenance task has been graded. If task is not listed, see the address on the
warranty card for repairs.
