ANGLE TRANSMISSION
The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose, lithium-based grease in
the angle transmission. Supply new grease every 25 hours of use or more
often depending on the job condition.
Remove the cutter holders before installing new grease to arrange for old
grease to exit.
BLADES
When refilling the tank or resting, it is often a good idea to use the time to oil
the cutting blades.
lf a gap exists between the upper and lower blades, follow the procedure
below to adjust them so that they fil more closely together.
(1) Upper blade
(2) Lower blade
1. Loosen lock nut (A) as shown in the diagram.
2. Tighten screw (B) fully, and then turn one-third to onehalf of a rotation
backward.
3. While holding onto the screw to keep it in position, tighten the lock
nut.
4. Check to make sure that the flat washer (C) is loose enough so that it
may be turned by pressing on it with a finger.
NOTE
Screwing in the screw too tightly may make it impossible for the blades to
move. Conversely, not screwing in the screw tightly enough may make the
blades of the trimmer feel dull and cause leaves and branches to become
caught in the blades of the trimmer.
QUICKTIP
lf the blades become so worn down that it is no longer possible to eliminate
the gap between them, you should contact the authorized servicing dealer
from which you purchased your trimmer to have the blades resharpened or
re placed.
TRANSMISSION
The reduction gears are lubricated by multipurpose, lithium-based grease in
the transmission.
Supply new grease every 25 hours of use or more often depending on the
job condition.
When adding lubrican!, use a grease gun to insert lubrican! into the three
grease nipples located on the transmission.
