Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
■
15 mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed into
the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
■
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then,
stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height.
Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string.
See Figure 4. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be
slightly narrower at the top. See Figure 5. More of the
hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will
be more uniform. If blades do become jammed, stop the
motor, allow the blades to stop and remove the battery
pack before attempting to remove the obstruction.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
■
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
action, so that the stems are fed directly into the
cutting blade. Older growth will have thicker stems and
will be trimmed easiest by using a sawing movement.
If blade jams on any electrical cord or line,
DO NOT TOUCH THE BLADE! IT CAN BECOME
ELECTRICALLY LIVE AND VERY DANGEROUS.
Continue to hold the hedge trimmer by the insulated
rear handle or lay it down and away from you in a
safe manner. Disconnect the electrical service to the
damaged line or cord before attempting to free the
blade from the line or cord. Failure to heed this warning
will result in serious personal injury or possible death.
WARNING
Clear the area to be cut before each use.
Re-move all objects such as cords, lights, wire, or
string which can become entangled in the cutting blade
and create a risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil,grease, etc.
When servicing use only identical Greenworks Tools
replacement parts. Use of any other parts can create a
hazard or cause product damage.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum based products, penetrating oils,
etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that may damage, weaken, or
destroy plastics.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
BLADE MAINTENANCE – HEDGE TRIMMER
Battery units do not have to be plugged into an
electrical outlet; therefore, they are always in operating
condition. To prevent serious personal injury, always
remove the battery and take extra precautions and
care when performing maintenance, service or for
changing the cutting blade.
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery
pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the unit.
BLADE CARE
Lubricate the cutting blades after each use.
■
Periodically inspect the blades for damage and wear.
■
Always use the manufacturer's specified replacement
■
blades.
TO LUBRICATE BLADE
See figure 6
Remove battery pack from hedge trimmer.
■
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate the
■
hedge trimmer blade before and after each use. Before
lubricating, remove the battery pack and lay hedge
trimmer on a flat surface. Apply light weight machine
oil along the edge of the top blade. See Figure 8.
Occasionally, you should oil your hedge trimmer during
■
prolonged use. Before oiling, stop hedge trimmer,
remove battery pack, then oil. You then can resume
trimming. Do not oil while hedge trimmer is running.
