Blade Life
Blade life will vary according to the fre-
quency and length of use. For example,
using the unit for 10 minutes every 3 days,
the life expectancy is approximately 3
years. If cutting efficiency is reduced sub-
stantially despite proper maintenance, the
blades have exceeded their service life
and should be changed.
The replacement Part No. is WER964.
Battery life
Battery life will vary according to the fre-
quency and length of use. If the batteries
are charged 3 times a month, the service
life will be approximately 6 years. If the
unit is ieft without being charged for more
than 6 months, the charge will drain from
the batteries and their service life may be
shortened. Therefore, even when not in
regular use, it is recommended that the
unit be recharged at least every six
months.
(Nickel-cadmium batteries are installed.
