NOTICE
For best results use hot water whenever possible. Be careful when selecting the degreaser that it will not
damage the painted or anodized components of the trimmer. Always follow the operating instructions
provided using the pressure washer.
If you choose to use a pressure washer take care not to damage the trimmer’s finish by holding the nozzle
excessively close to the machine or by focusing the spray onto the motor or timer. These components are
not intended to be waterproof and water damage is excluded from warranty cover
