Sharpening the Cutting Blade

1. Start and stop your hedge trimmer until
the cutter blade and the guard are slightly
offset, as shown in Fig. 10. This will allow
clearance for the file between cutter teeth
and guard teeth.
2. Remove the battery pack from your hedge
trimmer.
3. Clamp the blade assembly in a vise and file
the exposed cutting surface of each blade
tooth. Remove as little material as possible.
Be sure to retain the original angle of each
tooth when filing.
4. Remove the hedge trimmer from the
vise; restart it and stop it to expose the
unsharpened edges of the blade teeth.
5. Remove the battery pack and repeat the
sharpening procedure above.
NOTICE: Do not operate your hedge trimmer
with dull or damaged cutting blades. This may
cause overload and will give unsatisfactory
cutting results.
