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. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
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. Cleaning on the outside
When the hedge trimmer is stained, wipe with a soft
dry cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do
not use chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for
they melt 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.
7. Storage
Store the hedge trimmer in a place in which the
temperature is less than 40°C and out of reach of
children.
NOTE
Make sure that the battery is fully charged when
stored for a long period (3 months or more). The
battery with smaller capacity may not be able to be
charged when used, if stored for a long period.
