MAINTENANCE
Periodically check the edger for misalignment, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the edger operation. If damaged, have the unit repaired before use.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
All maintenance, repair and inspection work should be performed by an authorized Bushranger service center.

The drive gear is filled with a sufficient quantity of grease at
the factory. Fill the drive gear with grease after every 30 hours
of operation.
Storage
When transporting or storing the edger, always
remove the battery. Proper handling of the edger will reduce
the risk of personal injury from the cutting blade.
Troubleshooting
The following chart lists problems, causes and corrective
actions if your edger does not operate properly. If these do
not correct the problem, contact an authorized service center.
