MAINTENANCE
Follow these general maintenance guidelines before each use.
•
Check that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely tightened in order to be sure that the
machine is in a safe working condition.
•
Frequently check the grass catching devices for signs of wear and deformation.
•
Only use replacement cutters of the correct type.
•
For your own safety, replace worn or damaged parts without delay.
Cleaning
IMPORTANT!
All maintenance, service and cleaning work must be performed after the power
cord has been disconnected from the socket.
•
Do not use high-pressure cleaners or running water to clean the tool.
•
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents.
•
After shaking out the debris bag, turn it inside out and thoroughly clean it in order to prevent
mould and unpleasant odours from forming.
•
You can use soap and water to clean out a heavily soiled debris bag.
•
Rub a bar of dry soap across the zipper teeth if the zipper becomes difficult to pull.
•
Always keep the tool and ventilation slats clean.
•
Use a damp rag to wipe dirt marks off of the tool. Clean the vacuum/blower tube with a brush
upon evidence of dirt and grime.
•
Dirt and grime can make the switch (blower/vacuum) more difficult to operate as a result of the
material that swirls up off the ground. When this occurs, simply flip the switch back and forth a
few times, which should bring it back to normal.
Storage
Electric tools should be kept in a dry place when not in use.
