• Always keep the device clean.
- Remove deposits, grass clippings
or escaping lubricant from the mo
-
tor, air vents and handles. Use a
damp cloth or brush to do this.
Do not use any cleaning agents or
solvents. This could damage the
machine irreparably.
- After each use, clean the cutting at
-
tachments and the protective cover
– if applicable – of contaminants.
- After each use, you
must clean the safety
cutter bar (with an oily
rag) and lubricate it
with an oil can or
spray.
• Prior to every use, check the appli
-
ance for obvious defects such as
loose, worn or damaged parts.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damages and correct installation. Re
-
place as necessary.
• The blade bar must be checked regu
-
larly for wear and reground. A blunt
cutting accessory will overload the
device and has to be replaced.

18)
• Store the device in a dry, frost-free,
and dust-protected place and out of
reach of children.
• Remove the rechargeable battery
from the device during a longer stor
-
age period (e.g. wintering).
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge
should be 40 – 60 % over a longer
storage period. (two LED lights of the
state of charge display light up green).
• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.
• Store the equipment between 10° C
and 25° C. During storage, avoid ex
-
treme cold or heat so the battery does
not lose power.
