Blade life
Blade life varies according to the frequency and period of use of the
trimmer.
For example, the blade life is approximately 3 years when using the
trimmer for 10 minutes once a week. Replace the blades if cutting
efficiency reduces substantially despite proper maintenance.
Battery life
Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. If
the battery is charged once a month, the service life will be
approximately 3 years.
If the operating time is significantly shorter even after a full charge,
the battery has reached the end of its life.
