MAINTENANCE WARNING: Blades are sharp. When handling the blade assembly, wear non-slip, heavy-duty protective gloves. Do not place your hand or fingers between blades or in any position where they could get pinched or cut. NEVER touch blades or service unit with battery pack installed. REPLACING BLADES See Figures 7 - 8. Periodically inspect the blades for damage and wear. Always use the manufacturer's specified replacement blades. Removing the blade: Remove the battery pack from the hedge trimmer. Place the hedge trimmer upside down on a workbench and remove the four (4) blade cover screws. Remove the blade cover. Remove the bar plate from the two pins. Remove the retaining ring, washer, and retaining plate. Align the cams. NOTE: The yokes cannot be lifted unless they clear the lip of the cams. Remove the four (4) blade screws. Each blade has an oval yoke attached at one end. Slide the blades into position so the yokes align. Remove the blade from the housing. Installing a new blade: Before installing a new blade, apply a lithium-based grease to the areas indicated. Align the cams. Place the new blade on the housing and align the yokes to drop into place. Rotate the blade so that it drops past the lower cam. NOTE: When properly aligned, the blade assembly fits in the recessed slot in the motor housing. Reinstall the four (4) blade screws and tighten securely. Reinstall the retaining plate, washer, and retaining ring. Reinstall the bar plate over the two pins. Install the blade cover using the four (4) blade cover screws. Tighten securely. CUTTER BLADE ASSEMBLY YOKES PINS WARNING: Make sure the bottom plate is replaced before inserting the battery pack and starting the hedge trimmer. Failure to do so will expose internal parts, which could cause an accident or electrical shock, resulting in serious injury. NOTE: If binding occurs after replacing the blade assembly, repeat the steps under Removing the Blade and Installing a new Blade. 12 BLADE COVER SCREWS BLADE COVER Fig. 7 BLADE SCREWS BAR PLATE RETAINING RING WASHER RETAINING PLATE APPLY GREASE TO THESE AREAS CAMS Fig. 8
