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. D shown.
Side Cutting
When trimming the sides of the hedge, begin at the
bottom and cut upwards as Fig. E1 or Fig. E2 shown.
Radical Cutting
The hedge trimmer's rear handle can be set in five
positions(0°/±45°/±90°)by pulling out the catch (Fig. F1
to Fig F5). If a radical cut is necessary, set the rear handle
to ±45° (Fig. F2 & F4) to do cutting.
WARNING:
When the handle is adjusted, the cutting
blade must not be running.
NOTICE:
While working, the handle should always be
facing upwards irrespective of how the hedge trimmer is
directed.
Tip Protector
The tip protector(Fig. G) is used to protect the outer end of
the blade.
Blade Guard
The outer part of the blades is shaped as blade guards
(Fig. H).
H-I Blade
H-2 Blade Guard
WARNING:
Always check that the blade guard is not
damaged or distorted. Replace it if it is bent or damaged.

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

and cutting blade.
56 VOLT LITHIUM-ION CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER— HT5100E / HT6500E
◾
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. Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file the
exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth. Remove
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.
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.
NOTICE:
For extended using period, oil the blade during
cutting operation.
WARNING:
Do not oil while the hedge trimmer is
running.
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.
◾
Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden
chemicals and deicing salts.
