Product Care
Wear protective gloves when handling or cleaning the blade.
To reduce risk of injury, ensure that protective blade guard is fitted when the trimmer is
not in use, and when being transported, handled or stored.
To ensure that your product gives you a long and reliable service, carry out the following
maintenance regularly:
• Check for obvious defects, such as loose, dislodged, worn or damaged blades, loose fixings,
and worn, damaged, or loose parts.
• Check that all covers and guards are correctly fitted and undamaged.
• Always clean the cutting blade after use and apply a lubricating oil or spray
before storage.
• During longer cutting periods, it is recommended to lubricate the blade. This will improve
cutting performance and maximise the run-time.
• Before use, check the condition of the cutting edges of the blade and check that the blade
fixings are secure.
• Do not use water, solvents, or polishes to clean the trimmer. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive materials to clean the product, and do not immerse it in water.
• Store the hedge trimmer in a secure, dry place, out of reach of children. Do not expose it to moisture.
• To maintain optimum battery life store the battery in clean, dry conditions, within a
recommended temperature range of 0 - 25°C. Do not store the battery in areas of high
temperature above 25°C. Do not store near a source of heat or where exposed to direct sunlight.
• If the product will be stored for longer periods of time without use, for example during winter
months, it is recommended to fully charge the battery before storage to help maintain its
condition and life.
PLEASE NOTE: if the product needs to be repaired or replaced, only use replacement parts
supplied by the manufacturer.
