Maintenance and cleaning
1.Store the tool, instruction manual and accessories in a secure, dry place. In this way you will always have the information ready to hand.
2.Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
3.Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a rag.
4.All bearings and bushes are lubricated for life.
5.If the cordset is damaged or worn, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, or service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
6.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with the tool.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
Storage
1.Store the trimmer away from direct sunlight.
2.Do not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the formation of mould.
3.At the end of the season, give the trimmer an overall cleaning and a thorough check.
4.Do not leave the trimmer resting on the floor for extended periods as it could cause the shape of the guard to alter, posing a safety risk. Hang it off the floor by the top handgrip.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
