Maintenance
Before carrying out any maintenance operations, cut off the electric power supply by disconnecting the plug from the
extension cable.
• Regular cleaning and maintenance of you grass trimmer / brush cutter will ensure efficiency and prolong the life of your
machine.
• After each cutting operation, take apart and clean out the grass and soil from the spool and its slot, the whole trimmer
and in particular the guard.
•
During operation, keep the air slots clean and free of grass.
• Only use a cloth soaked with hot water and a soft brush to clean the grass trimmer.
• Do not spray or wet the appliance with water.
• Do not use detergents or solvents as these could ruin the appliance. The parts in plastic can easily be damaged by
chemical agents.
•
If the line cutting blade no longer cuts or breaks, have this replaced by contacting an authorized service center.
•
For repairs which have not been explained in these instructions, contact an authorized service center.

Storage
Follow these recommendations for storing the grass trimmer:
• Carry out general cleaning of the grass trimmer / brush cutter and its ancillary parts (see maintenance paragraph).
• Store it out of the reach of children, in a stable and safe position and in a dry place where the temperature is not too hot or
too cold.
•
Store the grass trimmer / brush cutter away from direct sunlight, if possible in a dark or barely lit place.
•
Do not store in a bag as this could encourage the formation of damp patches.
•
Do not store the grass trimmer / brush cutter resting on the floor. Hang it by the upper handgrip instead, so that the guard
does not touch anything. The resting of the guard on a surface could alter its shape and therefore its dimensions and safety
characteristics would be modified.
