WARNING
All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.
Clean the trimmer after each use
WARNING
• To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery pack from the tool before servicing,
cleaning, changing attachments or removing material from the tool.
a. Clear any grass that may have wrapped itself around the motor shaft or trimmer head.
b. Use only a clean, dry and soft cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
c. Keep the air vents free from debris at all times.

may result in overheating or damage to the motor.

Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Use
clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

etc. These can break off and become dangerous
projectiles.
