Cleaning
•
Keep ventilation slots of the tool clean at all times. Periodically clean out the grass from the cutting
head and the rim of the safety guard to ensure efficient operation at all times.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust, dirt, etc. Build up
of dust, dirt particles may cause the tool to overheat and shorten the life of the tool.
• If the housing of the trimmer requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth or soft
brush only.
• Never let any liquid get inside the tool, never immerse any part of the tool into liquid.
•
Keep the handles free of oil so that you can maintain a firm grip.
• No lubrication is necessary as the tool has sealed bearings.

tank. Briefly immerse the saw chain and the guide bar into an oil bath and then wrap them in oil
paper.
