Maintenance and cleaning

1. Store the tool, instruction manual and accessories in a
secure, dry place. In this way you will always have the
information ready to hand.
2. Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
3. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag.
4. All bearings and bushes are lubricated for life.
5. If the cordset is damaged or worn, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, or service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.
6. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.

General inspection

Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.

Storage

1. Store the trimmer away from direct sunlight.
2. Do not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the
formation of mould.
3. At the end of the season, give the trimmer an overall
cleaning and a thorough check.
4. Do not leave the trimmer resting on the floor for extended
periods as it could cause the shape of the guard to
alter, posing a safety risk. Hang it off the floor by the top
handgrip.

Power cord maintenance

If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried
out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer's agent, or an
authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
