Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi CH 10DL Instructions De Sécurité Et Mode D'emploi

NOTE:
Lubricate (using sewing machine oil, mineral oil,
etc.) the blade before starting and then every hour.
Use an adequate amount of oil and wipe away
excess oil.
During work (for example, when taking rests) do
not leave the tool in a place exposed to direct
sunlight or high temperature. This will prevent
proper cooling and could result in damage.
Do not use the tool for work that exceeds its
capacity. Such operation could cause the motor
to lock up or slow down and will damage it.
Do not lower the front end of the blade to prevent
sand, gravel or soil from entering the blade and
damaging it by making it less sharp.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING:
●
Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery
from the tool before making inspections or
carrying out maintenance.
●
Do not disassemble to blade. Failure to heed this
warning may result in injury.
●
Use gloves, or cloth to protect your hands when
handling the blade. Failure to heed this warning
may result in injury.
1. Sharpening the blade (Fig. 25)
Move an iron file in the direction of the arrow for a
rough sharpening then use an oil stone to give the
blade a good finish.
(1) Use a fine iron file or one of intermediate
coarseness.
(2) Coat the oil stone with machine oil (bicycle oil or
the like).
(3) Use a whetstone to gently remove any burrs from
the back of the blade edge.
When to sharpen the blade
While this will vary the type of trees that are trimmed
and how often it is used, it is a good idea to sharpen the
blade about once a year to maintain a sharp edge.

Trimming tall grass
Attempting to cut tall grass at one go will expose the
blade to excessive load and wear the blade. First remove
1/3 of the height starting from the top before trimming
it to the desired height.
Trimming around stone walls and curbs
When trimming around curbs, move the blade sideways
along the curb. (Fig. 24)
This makes it possible to trim without leaving
untrimmed edges.

NOTE:
Do not use water for cleaning the blade to prevent
rust or other damage.
2. Lubricating the blade
During trimming, sap adhering to the blade edge
will increase load and wear down the battery more
rapidly. Use machine oil (or bicycle oil or the like)
to lubricate the blade and wipe the blade with a
cloth. To prevent the blade from rusting, be sure
to lubricate the blade after use and when it will
not be used for an extended period of time before
placing it in the blade case.
