MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To avoid serious

personal injury, be sure the unit is off and unplugged before cleaning or performing any maintenance on it.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS

This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated unit, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No means of grounding are provided on a double-insulated unit, nor should a means for grounding be added to this unit.

Servicing a double-insulated unit requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated unit must be identical to the parts they replace. Refer any repair to an authorized service dealer. A double-insulated unit is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED.”

INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS

Inspect all extension cords periodically. Look closely for deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Inspect the connectors for damage. Replace cords if defective or damaged.

STORAGE

•Store the unit indoors, away from moisture and harmful substances such as fertilizers and solvents.

•Store the unit in a dry, well ventilated area.

•Store the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up or up high to prevent unauthorized use or damage. Keep out of the reach of children.

CLEANING THE UNIT

1.With the switch in the OFF position, disconnect the Hedge Trimmer from the power source.

2.Use a small brush or the air discharge of a vacuum cleaner brush to keep the air vents free of obstructions.

3.Do not use strong detergents on the plastic housing or components. These can be damaged by certain household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene or acetone. Moisture can also cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
