USING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
EN
WARNING:
If the blade jams on any electrical cord
or line, DO NOT TOUTCH 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.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, keep
hands away from blades. Do not attempt to remove cut
material or hold material to be cut when the blades are
moving. Make sure that the blades have totally stopped
and the battery pack is removed before clearing jammed
material from blades. Do not grasp the exposed cutting
blades or cutting edges when picking up or holding the
unit.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
Avoid trimming too much at one time or
through the heavy shrubbery. This can cause the blades to
bind and slow, reducing the cutting efficiency.
NOTICE:
For new growth, a wide sweeping is suitable
for the stems fed directly into the cutting blade. For older
growth, a sawing movement is good for trimming the
thicker stems. A non-powered hand saw or pruning saw is
suggested for trimming the large stems first.
Top Cutting
Use a wide sweeping motion. A slight downward tilt of the
cutting blades in the direction of motion gives the best
cutting results. For better cutting effect, you might as well
use the string to guide the hedge level as Fig. J shown.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards as Fig. K shown.
Tip Protector
The tip protector (Fig. L) is used to protect the outer end
of the blade.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage. To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified
service technician.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the product when cleaning
or performing any maintenance.
CLEANING
◾
Use a soft brush to remove debris from all air intakes
and cutting blade.
◾
To remove pitch and other sticky residue, spray the
blades with resin solvent. Run the motor briefly so that
the solvent is evenly distributed.
◾
Wipe the surface with a dry cloth.
WARNING:
Never use water for cleaning your
trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents. Use clean clothes to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
SHARPENING THE CUTTING BLADE
1. Remove the battery pack from your hedge trimmer.
2. AHB6500S: Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and
file the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth.
Remove as little material as possible.
AHB6500 (With " " and "HARDENED" on the blade
surface): Clamp the blade assembly in a vice and
sharpen the exposed cutting surface with a diamond
file or low-speed grinder(Rotate speed<2500 min ,
-1
Feed speed<60mm/min, Mesh number>100).
Removing as little material as possible.
3. Remove the hedge trimmer from the vise and adjust
the unsharpened blade on the other side exposed.
Repeat the above procedures until all the blade teeth
sharpened.
NOTICE:
Do not operate your hedge trimmer with dull or
damaged cutting blades. This may cause overload and
will give unsatisfactory cutting results.
NOTICE: A normal metal file is not applicable to sharpen
AHB6500 special blade.
NOTICE:
When use a low-speed grinder (Rotate
speed<2500 min -1 ) to sharpen cutting blade, keep
watering the blade teeth continuously during grinding.
LUBRICATING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING: Do not lubricate while the hedge trimmer
is still connected with battery or running.
Lubricating the blade
For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the
hedge trimmer blade with light weight machine oil before
and after each use.
Remove the battery pack and lay the trimmer onto a flat
surface. Apply the oil along the edge of the top blade
(Fig. N).
Lubricating the gear case
For best operation and longer lifetime, lubricate the hedge
trimmer gear case with a special grease (5-6g in #1 and
10-12g in #2 each time) after every 50 hours operation.
The special grease should meet the following require-
ments.
1. Belong to DIN51818: NLGI-2 cone penetration degree.
2. Composed of polyurea thickeners + synthetic
lubricating oil
3. Excellent low-temperature startup, EP, mechanical
shearing, abrasion resistance and oxidative stability
properties.
4. Operation temperature must contain -40~180°C.
Remove the battery plug and the two sealing screws (Fig. O).
Lubricating the gear case through the oil-hole.
NOTICE: Don't fully fill the gear case with grease.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
◾
Always place the shield on the blade before storing or
transporting the hedge trimmer. Use caution to avoid
the sharp teeth of the blade.
◾
Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing.
◾
Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is
inaccessible to children.
◾
