Blade Maintenance (Fig. J)

The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel

and with normal usage, they will not require resharpening.

However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence (Fig.J), stones,

glass, or other hard objects, you may put a nick in the blade.

There is no need to remove this nick as long as it does not

interfere with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere,

remove the battery and use a fine toothed file or sharpening

stone to remove the nick. If you drop the trimmer, carefully

inspect it for damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked,

handles broken or if you see any other condition that may

affect the tool's operation contact your local authorized service

center for repairs before putting it back intouse.

2. Carefully apply a resin solvent to the exposedblades.

blades toward the ground and run the tool for a few

seconds to fully disperse thelubrication.
