lifting up on the front and back and angling it so it rotates around
the bearing (13C).
INSTALLING BLADE
1. Install blade screw and
washers (13A) from the
old blade into the hole in
the new blade.
2. Line up the blade screw
(13A) on the new blade
and the rectangular fabric
(14A) with their respective
slots in the hedge trimmer.
3. Mostly tighten the blade
screw. Do not tighten fully. Slide the bottom blade (14B) back
and forth, and press down slightly until the blade catches the
post (14C) on the bottom connection rod (14D). Make sure the
bottom connection rod is still in place.
4. Fully tighten the blade screw (13A).
5. Place the top connection rod (13B) back onto the eccentric cam
(14E), angling it around the bearing (13C). Ensure the post is
faced down toward the top blade (14F).
6. Slide the top blade back and forth until the blade catches the
post on the top connection rod.
7. Replace the cover (12C) and fasten with the 4 cover screws (12A).
Replace the long blade/cover screw and washers (12B) in correct
order in the hole closest to the blade.

The cutting blades are made from high
quality, hardened steel and with normal
usage,
they
will
not
resharpening.
However,
accidentally hit a wire fence (Fig. 15),
stones, glass, or other hard objects,
you may put a nick in the blade. There
is no need to remove this nick as long
as it does not interfere with the
movement of the blade. If it does
interfere, remove the battery and use a
fine toothed file or sharpening stone to
remove the nick. If you drop the
trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If the blade is bent, housing
cracked, handles broken or if you see any other condition that may
affect the trimmer's operation contact your local D
service center for repairs before putting it back into use.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the unit on or adjacent
to fertilizers or chemicals.
With the battery removed, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the unit. Never let any liquid get inside the unit; never immerse
any part of the unit into a liquid. Prevent the blades from rusting by
applying a film of light machine oil after cleaning.
BLADE SHARPENING (FIG. 16)
• KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST PERFORMANCE. A DULL
BLADE DOES NOT CUT CLEANLY.
• WHEN SHARPENING BLADE, ENSURE THAT BATTERY IS
REMOVED.
