angle drive. Insufficient lubrication will shorten the service life of the
unit.
It is advisable to lubricate the angle drive regularly. Use Lithium
machine grease. Suitable grease and grease guns can be pur-
chased from Westfalia.
Cleaning the Cutting Bar
Remove dirt from the blade bar with a scrubbing brush or a small
hand broom.
To remove rosin residues, mix some paraffin and engine oil and
wipe off the blade bar (mixture ratio Paraffin : Engine Oil = 50 : 50).
Preferably lubricate the blade bar every 4 hours of operation. Apply
a few drops oil into the opening at the bottom side of the cutting bar.
Sharpening the Cutting Bar
The blades of the cutting bar must regularly be checked for wear
and sharpened if necessary. Dull blades will overload the hedge
trimmer.
Have worn cutting bars be sharpened by a skilled expert.
