ADJUST THE CUTTING BLADES (FIG. H)
Disconnect the battery from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or transporting.
The angle of the cutting blades can be adjusted
into 7 possible working positions between 0°
and 120° (1)
Steps for adjusting the angle of the cutting
blades:
• Install the guard over the blades
• Pull back on the pin (2)
• Use lever (3) to adjust the joint by one or several
holes
• Release pin and ensure it engages a hole in the
plate
CORRECTING BLADE BIND
CAUTION: Always remove the battery
before clearing cutting blades to avoid
accidental activation of the cutting blades.
CAUTION: Cutting blades are sharp.
Always wear gloves when clearing material
from the cutting blades.
Sometimes when cutting flexible, "green"
branches, clippings can become lodged between
the moving parts of the cutting blades and the
stationary part When this happens, the cutting
blades may suddenly cease to move This can also
happen if the cutting blades contact material too
strong to cut through, such as a chain-link fence
This condition is called blade bind
Follow these guidelines to safely and effectively
clear the material:
• Wear gloves
• Remove the battery pack from the hedge
trimmer
• Clear the material that is preventing the cutting
blades from moving

Operation and Maintenance
Maintenance
WARNING: A battery operated tool
with the battery pack inserted can start
accidentally. Remove the battery pack
before inspecting, cleaning, or performing
maintenance.
CAUTION: Inspect the hedge trimmer
regularly. Regular inspection is the first step
to proper maintenance. Follow the guidelines
below to maximize safety and satisfaction.
Have any damaged or excessively worn parts
replaced immediately.
CAUTION: When cleaning the hedge
trimmer, do not immerse in water or other
liquids. Do not use a pressure washer to clean
the hedge trimmer.
LUBRICATING THE BLADES
When cutting hedges with heavy sap or in
dusty environments, buildup of sap and dirt can
occasionally cause blades to stick To prevent
this blade stick condition, clean the blades with a
light coating of liquid silicon lubricant only on the
lubrication area of the cutting blades and run the
blades briefly to evenly distribute the lubricant
Important: Do not allow lubricant to drip inside
the body of the hedge trimmer Never use grease
solvents or aerosol water displacement products
Do not over lubricate
SHARPENING THE BLADES
Disconnect the battery from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or transporting.
For the best performance of the tool make sure
that the cutting blades are sharp, have no nicks
or blunt edges, and do not hang up or catch when
running the hedge trimmer
Periodically file away nicks and burrs on the
blades to ensure they move freely
Sharp and free-moving cutting blades cut more
easily than dull or sticky ones
Replace the cutting blades when they can no
longer be sharpened
