GENERAL MAINTENANCE
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, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which can result in serious personal injury.
CLEANING THE POWER HEAD
 Stop the motor and remove the battery pack.
 Clean dirt and debris from the power head using a damp
cloth with a mild detergent.
NOTICE:
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing
or the handle. They can be damaged by certain aromatic
oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as
kerosene.
STORING THE POWER HEAD
 Remove the battery pack from the power head before
storing.
 Clean all foreign material from the power head.
 Store it in a place that is inaccessible to children.

chemicals and de-icing salts.
