General maintenance and
cleaning
• Prior to every use, check the appliance
for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check that the
screws in the blade bar are tight.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damages and correct installation. Re-
place as necessary.
• Check that the motor and silencer are
free from deposits, leaves or lubricant at
all times. Non-compliance causes a risk
of fire or explosion.
Use a damp cloth or a brush. Do not
spray the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water.
• Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
You may otherwise irreparably damage
the appliance. Chemical substances
may damage the plastic parts of the ap-
pliance.
• Carefully clean the blade bar after every
time of use. Wipe with an oily cloth or
spray it with a metal care spray.
Cleaning the air filter
Do not operate the appliance
without the air filter. Dust and
dirt will otherwise get into the
engine and cause damage to the
machine. Keep the air filter clean.
