MAINTENANCE
WARNING
:
To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove
the battery pack before making any adjustments
or removing/installing attachments or
accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
1. Keep the air intake slots clean to avoid overheating.
2. Your trimmer line can dry out over time. To keep your
line in top condition, store spare pre-wound spools or
bulk line in a plastic, sealable bag with a tablespoon
of water.
3. Plastic parts may be cleaned by using a mild soap and
a damp rag.
4. The line cutter on the edge of the guard can dull over
time. It is recommended you periodically touch-up the
sharpness of the blade with a file.
Cleaning
WARNING
:
Blow dirt and dust out of all
air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To
minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1
approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING
:
Never use solvents or other
harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts
of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
