Regular scheduled maintenance will help your hedge trimmer achieve that goal. If you are
unsure or are not equipped with the necessary tools, you may want to take your hedge trimmer
to the address on the warranty card for maintenance. To help you decide whether you want to
Do-It-Yourself or have the address on the warranty card do it, each maintenance task has been
graded. If task is not listed, see the address on the warranty card for repairs.

Level 2 = Moderate difficulty. Some specialized tools may be required.
Level 3 = Experience required. Specialized tools are required. Gardenline recommends that
the hedge trimmer be returned to the address on the warranty card for service.
