CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.
• Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, remove battery from the tool. For safe and
proper operation, always keep the tool and its ventilation slots clean.
Cleaning
Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your edger attachment; never use detergent or alcohol.
Clear any grass that may have wrapped itself around the blade hub. Keep the air vents free of
obstructions.
Storage
Clean the tool thoroughly before storing it.
Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area, locked-up or up high, out of the reach of children.
Keep away from corrosive agents, such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
6. Replacing the Blade
WARNING
• Do not attempt to straighten or weld a bent or
cracked blade as it might break. Such a blade
must be replaced. Replace only with identical
edger blade.
NOTICE:
Replace the blade if its length is no
longer sufficient to maintain the necessary ground
clearance and obtain the required depth of cut.
WARNING
• Always protect your hands by wearing heavy
gloves or wrapping the blade with rags or other
materials when performing any maintenance on
the edger blade.
Removing the blade
a. Stop the tool and remove the battery pack.
b. Lay the edger on its back so that the blade (D)
is facing upwards.
c. While wearing protective gloves, rotate the
blade until the slot in the blade hub is aligned
with the groove first (Fig. 6a)
d. Insert a 6mm hex wrench or a metal rod into
the slot in the blade hub to act as a spindle
lock. Use the multi-function wrench (J) to
loosen the nut
