Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to 
comply with ANSI Z87.1, along with hearing protection. 
Head protection may also be required depending on the 
type of attachment used and as prescribed in the attach-
ment’s Operator’s Manual. Failure to do so could result in

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

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, lubricant, grease, etc.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based 
products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in contact 
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or 
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

You can often make adjustments and repairs described 
here. For other repairs, have the power head serviced by 
an authorized service dealer.
