Original Instructions
Use gloves when maintaining the cutting blades.
Maintain the product with care. Keep the cutting blades
sharp and clean for best performance and to reduce
the risk of injury. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
After each use, clean the body and handles with a soft,
dry cloth.
After each use, remove the debris from the blades with
a stiff brush, and then carefully apply a rust preventative
lubricant before refitting the blade cover. Use a rust
preventative and lubricant spray to apply an even
distribution and reduce the risk of personal injury from
contact with the cutting blades. For information about a
suitable spray product, check with an authorised service
centre.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, and grease.
Always ensure that the ventilation openings are kept
clear of debris.
Periodically inspect the cutting blades for damage and
wear.
For easier operation and longer blade life, lubricate
the cutting blades before and after each use. Before
lubricating, remove the battery pack and lay the cutting
blades on a flat surface. Apply lightweight machine oil
along the edge of the top blade. Do not apply oil when
the product is running.
