Always return the tool to the
service centre for work not
described in the manual.
Only use original parts.
Switch the tool off, unplug it
from the mains, and wait for
the tines (11) to stop mov-
ing before carrying out any
maintenance or cleaning
work on the tool.
Perform regular maintenance and cleaning
on the tool. This will ensure long, reliable

General cleaning and
maintenance work
Do not spray the tool

pecially not under pres-
sure), and do not clean
it under running water.
Wear protective gloves when
carrying out maintenance
and cleaning work on the

dry cloth.
• Spray or rub biodegradable oil into
the tines (11).
• Clean soiled grips with a damp cloth.
• Always check the tool for obvious dam-

parts before using it. Check that all
nuts, bolts, and screws are tight.
• Check the covers and guards for dam-

necessary.
Changing the tines
The tool is fitted with four tine wheels that
can easily be changed in pairs. Both of the
tine-wheel pairs can be fitted on the left or
right, as required.
Always change both
tine pairs at the same
time to avoid damage
to the tool from imbal-
ance.
Switch the tool off, unplug it
