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. 9. This
will allow clearance for the file between
cutter teeth and guard teeth.
2. Remove the battery pack from you
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.
