MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Inspect and maintain the machine
regularly. To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs
should be performed by a qualified service technician.
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury,
remove the battery pack from the tool before servicing,
cleaning, changing add-on attachments or removing
material from the unit.
CAUTION:
Obstructions in the vents will prevent
the air from flowing into the motor housing and result in
overheating or damaged of the motor.
CLEANING THE UNIT
◾
Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse
any part of the tool into a liquid.
◾
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. They can be damaged by certain
aromatic oils, such as pine and lemon, and by solvents
such as kerosene. Moisture can also cause a shock
hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
◾
Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small
vacuum cleaner brush to clean the air vents on the rear
housing.
◾
Keep air vents in the motor housing from debris at all
times.
TRANSMISSION GEARS LUBRICATION
The transmission gears in the gear case need be
lubricated periodically with gear grease. Check the
gear case grease level about every 50 hours of
operation by removing the sealing screw on the side
of the case.
If no grease can be seen on the flanks of the gear,
follow the steps below to fill with gear grease up to
3/4 capacity. Do not completely fill the transmission
gears.
1. Hold the line trimmer on its side so that the sealing
screw is facing upwards (Fig. W).
2. Use the multi-function wrench provided to loosen and
remove the sealing screw.
3. Use a grease syringe (not included) to inject some
grease into the screw hole; do not exceed 3/4
capacity.
4. Tighten the sealing screw after injection.
STORING THE UNIT
◾
Remove the battery pack from the line trimmer when it
is not in use.
◾
Clean the tool thoroughly before storing it.
◾
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area, locked-up
