Servicing
•
It is recommended once you first use your petrol line
trimmer to get it serviced after 15 hours of use.
•
From thereafter, service the petrol line trimmer every
2 years.
Storage and maintenance after use
•
When you finish working, clean the petrol line trimmer
completely, making sure there is no grass or dirt
wrapped in the cutting tools, and put it back into its
package in order to avoid its hurting you or other people
during transport.
•
Be aware to not hit or cut the fuel tank (7) while
you put it onto the ground. Do not let the petrol line
trimmer fall down to the floor or it may damage the
machine.
•
Store the petrol line trimmer away from direct sunlight.
•
Do not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the
formation of mould.
•
At the end of the season, give the petrol line trimmer an
overall cleaning and a thorough check.
•

by the top handgrip.
Whenever the machine is not used for a long period of
time, proceed as follows:
•
Empty the fuel tank completely.
•
