Maintenances AndAdjustments
1. Protective housing cleaning (following the disassemble procedures on Page 9)
DONOT immerse the Electric Trimmer into water. DONOT use any cleaning agent. Just wipe with
wrung-dry wet towel on the housing surface.After every usage, the blades must be clean thoroughly.
Use clean dry towel to put on a thin layer of rust-preventing oil to cover the blade, to isolate vapor and
air from corroding the blades. After severe usages of the Electric Trimmer, please open the protecting
housing, and use a brush to clean remaining wood chips, dirt, leaves, etc.
2. Polishing the blades (following the polishing procedures on Page 11)
The procedures determines the trimming quality and life expectancy of blade. If the Electric Trimmer
becomes sluggish in cutting or hard to cut, please check the blades if they have been corroded or with
dull edges, polish the blades with grindstone properly with oil lubricant.The grinding frequency is
depended on the hardness of the wood trimmed. Therefore, the blades must be inspected constantly, in
the basis of every 15 minutes a time, then decide the grinding frequency by yourself.
3. Adjust the blade opening(following the adjustment of the blade gap procedures on page 12)
Using the tool in the box to open the spur gear locker, then use a wrench to relax or tighten the spur gear
to adjust the gap between blades.
4. Change the blade (following the replacement of the blade procedures on page 13)
After polishing many times of the blade, the Electric Trimmer cannot cut the branch effectively any
more. The blades must be changed. After the replacement of the blades, it has to be tested to confirm
the opening and closing are normal, and the cutting operation is okay.
5. Storage
After operating or maintaining the Electric Trimmer blades, please remove the power cable from the
Electric Trimmer and battery, turn the power off and put all accessories back in the container in their
proper locations. The device has to avoid exposure to extreme environmental conditions, such as high
temperature, cold, wet, dirt, high voltages, and direct sunshine.
Suggestion for storage in dry environment as below：
Short-term storage of temperature for 1 month
-20℃~+60℃
Storage of temperature for 1~6 months
-10℃~+40℃
Storage of temperature for more than 6 months
0℃~+30℃
※To prevent battery from degrading forlong term storage, please recharge the batterybefore storing,
inspect and recharge once a month regularly.
