MAINTENANCE

■ Use only original manufacturer's replacement parts,
accessories, and attachments. Failure to do so can cause
possible injury, can contribute to poor performance, and
may void your warranty.
■ Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge
and should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. Have the product serviced by an authorised
service centre only. When servicing, use only original
replacement parts.
■ After each use, clean the body and handles of the
product with a soft, dry cloth. Any part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised
service centre.
■ After each use, clean the debris from the blades with
a stiff brush, and then use a disinfectant wipe to clean
the blades. Carefully apply a rust-preventative lubricant.
Use a recommended rust-preventative lubricant spray to
apply an even distribution and reduce the risk of personal
injury from contact with the blades. For information about
suitable spray products, check with your local authorised
service centre.
■ You may make adjustments and repairs described in this
manual. For other repairs, contact an authorised service
centre.
■ Check all nuts, bolts, and screws at frequent intervals

■ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, or grease.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, or penetrating oils come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic, resulting in serious personal injury.
NOTE: To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the
following maintenance regularly:
● Check for obvious defects, such as loose, dislodged,
or damaged blades; loose fixings; and worn or
damaged components.
● Visually check the condition of the cutting edges of
the cutting blade. Replace the blade when worn or
damaged.
■ To avoid serious personal injury, always remove
the battery pack from the product when cleaning or
performing any maintenance. Ensure that the cutting
mechanism has stopped before setting the product
