Maintenance And Repair - Stiga HT 48 Li Manuel D'utilisation

• Release the trigger lock button and continue
to squeeze the trigger for extended operation.
STOPPING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
• Release the trigger to stop the hedge trimmer.
• Upon release of the trigger, the trigger
lock button will be automatically
reset to the lock position.
• Remove battery pack from the hedge trimmer.
OPERATING TIPS
• Do not force the hedge trimmer through
heavy shrubbery. This can cause the
blades to bind and slow down. If the
blades slow down, reduce the pace.
• Do not try to cut stems or twigs that
are larger than 15 mm thick, or those
obviously too large to feed into the cutting
blade. Use a non-powered hand saw
or pruning saw to trim large stems.
• If desired, you can use a string to help cut
your hedge level. Decide how high you want
the hedge. Then, stretch a piece of string
along the hedge at this height. Trim the
hedge just above this guide line of string.
See Figure 4. Trim the side of a hedge so
that it will be slightly narrower at the top.
See Figure 5. More of the hedge will be
exposed when shaped this way, and it will
be more uniform. If blades do become
jammed, stop the motor, allow the blades
to stop and remove the battery pack before
attempting to remove the obstruction.
• Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly
growth. When trimming new growth, use
a wide sweeping action, so that the stems
are fed directly into the cutting blade. Older
growth will have thicker stems and will be
trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
If blade jams on any electrical cord or
line, DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN
BECOME ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY
DANGEROUS. Continue to hold the hedge
trimmer by the insulated rear handle or lay
it down and away from you in a safe manner.
Disconnect the electrical service to the
damaged line or cord before attempting
to free the blade from the line or cord.
Failure to heed this warning will result in
serious personal injury or possible death.
Clear the area to be cut before each
use. Remove all objects such as cords,
lights, wire, or string which can become
entangled in the cutting blade and create
a risk of serious personal injury
Avoid using solvents when
cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use a clean
cloth to remove dirt, oil,grease, etc. When
servicing use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create
a hazard or cause product damage.
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum based products,
penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals that
may damage, weaken, or destroy plastics.

6. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

BLADE MAINTENANCE – HEDGE TRIMMER
Battery units do not have to be plugged
into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always
in operating condition. To prevent serious
personal injury, always remove the battery
and take extra precautions and care when
performing maintenance, service or for
changing the cutting blade.
To prevent serious personal injury,
remove the battery
pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing
material from the unit.
BLADE CARE
• Lubricate the cutting blades after each use.
• Periodically inspect the blades for damage and
wear.
• Always use the manufacturer's specified
replacement blades.
TO LUBRICATE BLADE
See Figure 7.
• Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer.
• For easier operation and longer blade life,
lubricate the hedge trimmer blade before and
after each use. Before lubricating, remove
the battery pack and lay hedge trimmer on
a flat surface. Apply light weight machine
oil along the edge of the top blade.
• Occasionally, you should oil your hedge
trimmer during prolonged use. Before oiling,
stop hedge trimmer, remove battery pack,
then oil. You then can resume trimming. Do
not oil while hedge trimmer is running.
HEDGE TRIMMER LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with
a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the
life of the unit under normal operating procedures.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
