Maintenance
Storage
1. Keep the trimmer out of direct sunlight.
2. Do not store in a nylon bag as this can encourage the formation of mold.
3. At the end of the season, give the trimmer a complete cleaning and a thorough check.
4. Do not leave the trimmer resting on the floor for extended periods as it could cause the shape of the
guard to alter, posing a safety risk. Hang it off the floor by the top handgrip.
Electrical Safety for Charger
•
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk
of electric shock.
•
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, or other mains
appliances. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
•
Do not charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations
•
Do not use battery operated appliance in rain
•
Remove or disconnect battery before servicing, cleaning or removing material from the gardening
appliance.
•
Use only the battery recommended by manufacturer.
•
Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible
special disposal instructions.
•
Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to
the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.
•
Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as
rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
