Maintenance and cleaning
•
Switch off the hedge trimmer and pull out its power plug before
you put it down and clean it.
•
For the best cutting performance at all times, clean and lubricate
the blades at regular intervals.
•
Remove deposits with a brush and apply a thin film of oil
(see Figure 8).
Use bio-degradable oils.
•
Clean the plastic housing and parts with a mild household
detergent and a damp cloth. Never use aggressive agents
or solvents.
•
Be particularly careful not to allow any water to get inside the
machine. The supplied storage case can be fastened to the wall.
This is the best place to store your hedge trimmer.
Troubleshooting
The machine does not work: Check that the power cable
is connected properly and check the mains fuses. If the
machine will not work in spite of the voltage supply being OK,
please contact the specified after sales telephone helpline.
Disposal
Important
!
The hedge trimmer and its accessories are made of an
assortment of materials, e.g. metal and plastics. Defective
components must be disposed of as special waste. Do not throw
in the household refuse bin! Ask your dealer or local authority.
