Be careful not to use too much oil and don't oil your trimmer
more than necessary, as this could damage the motor. (Never
attempt to oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricat-
ed.) After oiling the blades, return the trimmer and oil packet to
the trimmer storage base. Keep oil away from children.
