○ 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. 19)
Move an iron fi le in the direction of the arrow for a rough
sharpening then use an oil stone to give the blade a
good fi nish.
(1) Use a fi ne iron fi le 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.
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.
3. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws
be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so
could result in serious hazard.
4. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
5. Cleaning on the outside
When the driver drill is stained, wipe with a soft dry
cloth or a cloth moistened with soapy water. Do not use
chloric solvents, gasoline or paint thinner, for they melt
plastics.
6. Storage
Store the power tool in a place in which the temperature
is less than 40°C and out of reach of children.
NOTE
Storing lithium-ion batteries.
Make sure the lithium-ion batteries have been fully
charged before storing them.
Prolonged storage (3 months or more) of batteries with
a low charge may result in performance deterioration,
signifi cantly reducing battery usage time or rendering
the batteries incapable of holding a charge.
However, signifi cantly reduced battery usage time may
be recovered by repeatedly charging and using the
batteries two to fi ve times.
If the battery usage time is extremely short despite
repeated charging and use, consider the batteries dead
and purchase new batteries.
