Maintenance Schedule

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or 
maintenance.

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable 
parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean 
with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. 
Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation 
slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.  
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly 
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

The following chart lists problem symptoms, possible causes and corrective action, if your electric 
grass trimmer does not operate properly. If these do not identify and correct the problem, contact 
your service agent.
WARNING! Always switch the product off, disconnect it from power supply and let the product cool 
down before performing inspection, maintenance and cleaning work!
