Do not force the pole hedge trimmer through dense growth.
A slight back and forth sawing action may ease the cutting of
larger, more dense growth. If the pole hedge trimmer begins to
slow down, reduce the rate of speed at which you are trying to
cut. If the pole hedge trimmer becomes jammed, immediately
turn the trimmer off. Remove the battery and clear the jammed
debris from the cutter blades.

WARNING!
Blades are sharp. When handling the blade
assembly, wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves. Do not
place your hand or fingers between blades or in any position
where they could get pinched or cut. NEVER touch the blades
or service the unit with the battery inserted.
Lubricate the Blades
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the pole
hedge trimmer blade before and after each use.
1. Stop the motor and remove the battery.
2. Lay the pole hedge trimmer on a flat surface. Apply
lightweight machine oil along the edge of the top blade
(Fig. 58).

If you will be using the pole hedge trimmer for an extended
period, it is advisable to stop work intermittently in order to
re-oil the blade.
NOTE: Do not oil while the pole hedge trimmer is running.
