replacement on this tool should ONLY be performed by
a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
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. Replacing supply cord
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, it has
to be done by Hitachi Authorized Service Center to avoid
a safety hazard.
5. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the inspections in the table below if the tool does not operate normally. If this does not remedy the problem, consult your
dealer or the Hitachi Authorized Service Center.
Symptom
Does not operate.
The tool does not trim well.
Possible cause
The power plug is not plugged into the
power socket.
Foreign matter is lodged in the blade.
The blade has become dull.
The blade stopped because it was used
to cut a branch whose width exceeded the
blade's cutting capacity.
NOTE
Work that will repeatedly cause the
blade to stop will eventually damage
the motor.
6. 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.
7. Transport of the tool
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.
8. Storage
Store the hedge trimmer in a place out of reach of
children.
CAUTION
In the operation and maintenance of power tools, the
safety regulations and standards prescribed in each
country must be observed.
Plug the power cord into the power
socket.
When there is foreign matter in the blade,
disconnect the plug from receptacle
and use a pair of tongs or similar tool to
remove it.
Take great care since the tool may start
operating when the foreign matter has
been removed.
Sap or rust may also prevent the blade
from operating. Use a wire brush or similar
tool to remove sap or rust.
Use a brush or cloth to remove sap.
If cleaning the blade does not improve
its cutting ability, contact the HITACHI
AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER to
have the blade replaced.
Some garden trees have wood that is very
hard and may be beyond the capacity of
the tool even if it is of a width that is within
normal capacity. Use a pair of pruning
shear to remove thick branches before
starting work.
An oblique cut may also exceed the
capacity of the tool since the length of
the cut increases. Be sure to trim thick
branches at right angles.
