Maintenance

WARNING!
Always switch the product off and let the
product cool down before performing inspection, maintenance
and cleaning work.
1. Keep the ventilation vents of the tool clean at all times. If
possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the vents.
2. If the enclosure of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not
use solvents to clean it. Only use a moistened soft cloth.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; and never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
3. The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with light
machine oil or spray lubricant (such as WD40, CRC 5.56
or RP7) after each use. When a job lasts for a long period
of time, it is recommended that the blade rail also be
treated with spray lubricant at regular intervals during
operation.
4. Inspect the product before each use for worn and
damaged parts. Do not operate it if you find broken and
worn parts.
Blade Maintenance
To ensure years of efficient and trouble-free operation, blade
cleaning should be performed if sap and debris have built-
up, or if you live in an area where the soil is sandy. Cleaning
unusually heavy deposits may require removal of the blades.

the terminals to prevent the battery pack from shorting, which
could cause a fire or explosion.
