Do not attempt to modify this unit or
create or mount any accessory not
specifically recommended in this
manual for use with this string
trimmer. Any such alteration or
modification is misuse and could
result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious
personal injury. Examine string
trimmer frequently to assure all
parts are unbroken and
securely attached. Make sure all
screws and fasteners are securely
tightened to prevent the risk of
serious personal injury.
CLEANING THE STRING TRIMMER
Remove the battery pack.
To prevent serious personal injury,
remove the battery pack before
servicing, cleaning, or removing
material from the unit.
Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild
detergent.
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.
Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any
moisture with a soft dry cloth. Use a small brush or
the air discharge of a small vacuum cleaner brush to
clean the air vents on the battery pack housing and
motor housing.
Keep the air vents free of obstructions.
STORING THE STRING TRIMMER
Clean the string trimmer thoroughly before
storing.
Store the string trimmer in a dry, well ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away
from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals
and de-icing salts.
Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Wait for battery pack to cool and charge
immediately.
All batteries gradually lose their charge. The
higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their
charge.
If you store your unit for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery pack live.
