Maintenance and cleaning

Trimmer/Edger

Warning: Inspect the trimmer/ edger. Regular inspection

is the first step to proper maintenance. Follow the guidelines below to maximize safety and satisfaction. Have any damaged or excessively worn parts replaced immediately. Failure to identify and replace damaged or worn parts can cause serious personal injury.

Warning: Remove the battery pack from the trimmer/edger before inspecting, cleaning, or performing maintenance. A battery operated tool with the battery pack inserted is always on and can start accidentally.

Caution: When cleaning the trimmer/edger, do not immerse in water or other liquids.

Clean the trimmer/edger

Wipe dust, leaves, and clippings from the trimmer/edger.

Clear the air vents to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.

Remove grass or weeds wound around the shaft and trimmer head.

Wipe the trimmer motor housing with a clean cloth moistened with mild soap and water.

Never use harsh cleaners or solvents.

Important: Keeping the vents clear and removing debris wrapped around the trimmer motor housing will help prevent overheating.

Inspect the trimmer head

Make sure the trimmer head is free of cracks or other damage. If it is damaged, replace it. Serious personal injury can result if a damaged trimmer head breaks during use.

Check that the trimmer head rotates freely and that the trimmer line advances. If the trimmer head fails to rotate freely, see “Correcting grass bind”.

If the trimmer line gets stuck or is tangled, rewind the spool. See “Replacing trimmer line”.

Inspect the handles

Make sure that both the front and rear handles are clean, dry, and are free of cracks or other damage. Serious personal injury can result if a damaged handle breaks during use.

Inspect battery port

Make sure the battery port is clean, dry, and free of debris. Debris in the battery port can prevent a good electrical connection between the battery pack and the trimmer/edger.
