Start by cutting the sides of the hedge working

hedge.
Make sure that there are no foreign bodies in or
alongside the hedge, which could damage the
blades.
To prevent injuries, when not in use, slip the
blade guard over the blade.

7. Cleaning and maintenance

HAZARD!
Always take the battery out of the equipment
before starting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it down with compressed air at
low pressure.
•
We recommend cleaning the equipment
immediately each time after use.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may
be aggressive to the plastic parts in the
equipment. Ensure that no water can get into
the interior of the equipment. The ingress of
water into an electric power tool increases the
risk of an electric shock.
•
The shears should be cleaned thoroughly
every time before and after use. A few drops
of oil (for example sewing machine oil)
applied to the blades improve the cutting
performance. However, never apply grease to
the blades.
•
To guarantee a constant exact cut it is
necessary that grass residues and dirt is
removed also from the top and bottom blades.
