Maintenance Tips for Peak Performance

• 🔪 Blade Care: Sharpen blades every 20 hours of use to maintain clean cuts and reduce motor strain.
• 💧 Lubricate: Apply light machine oil to blade pivot points and gear case after each cleaning.
• 🔩 Fastener Checks: Inspect and tighten screws, nuts, and handle clamps every 10 hours to prevent loosening.

• 🧰 Storage: Keep the trimmer indoors; use a blade cover and avoid humidity or extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How thick of branches can this trimmer handle? 🤔

The 24″ dual-action blade cleanly cuts branches up to ¾″ diameter. For best results, make slow, deliberate strokes and let the blade do the work. 🌳

Q: Do I need to buy the battery and charger separately? 🔋

The 2726-20 is a “tool-only” model. You’ll need a compatible REDLITHIUM™ High Demand 9.0 Ah battery and charger—both sold separately. However, it works across 125+ M18™ tools for easy battery sharing! 🔄

Brushless POWERSTATE™ motors run cooler, consume less power, and last longer without brush replacements—translating to more runtime and reliability on the jobsite. 💪

REDLINK PLUS™ manages power delivery by communicating between the battery, tool, and charger—preventing overload, overheating, and over-discharge for maximum tool life. 🔗
