MAINTENANCE
•
Maintain your tools.
It is recommended that the general condition of any tool be examined
before it is used. Keep your tools in good repair by adopting a program of conscientious
repair and maintenance in accordance with the recommended procedures found in this
manual. If any abnormal vibrations or noise occurs, turn the tool off immediately and have
the problem corrected before further use. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service
personnel.
•
Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Keep handles dry, clean, and
free from oil and grease.
•
Cleaning.
Use only soap and a damp cloth to clean your tools. Many household cleaners
are harmful to
tool housing and insulation
. Never let liquid get inside a tool.

carburetor setting and using the correct fuel mixture can prevent premature wear on Spark
