15.1. Sharpening
• Sharpening is very important to keep blade in good condition and ensure long life.
• The tool have attached accessory to sharp blade.
• Always check blade is in good condition before to start work. Of course, the frequency of sharpening
depends on the nature of the sheared wood (hardness and diameter), pruning rate and sharpening
tools (special abrasive tools are provided). As a result, the blade must be checked frequently during
the initial period of use to determine the appropriate grinding time (check every 15 minutes and you
will quickly calculate)
• Adjust the clearance of the moving blade to ensure that the cut is clean and accurate. The gap
between the blades should be checked regularly as friction wears the blades where they come into
contact. The nut is designed to block its position with the central screw which allows adjustments if
needed.
• To adjust the blade to the appropriate distance of about 0.03 mm loosen the central screw of the nut
by turning it clockwise, turn the nut clockwise to reduce the clearance and counterclockwise to
increase the clearance. When the adjustment is complete, hold the nut locked in place and tighten
the central screw by turning it counterclockwise
15.2. Greasing of the blades
The greasing of the blades has sto be repeated each 2-3 working days to guarantee the correct
performance of the tool and to avoid the seize of the blades.
• Open the blades of the pruner.
• Turn off the tool and remove the battery.
• Apply the grease between the moving blade and the fix blade (see the picture below).
• Put together the battery and the tool.
• Turn on the pruner and pull the trigger sometimes to get the grease through the blades.
• Clean the blades from the grease leftover.
