MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
User-replaceable parts
on this item are limited to the battery
and the blades. Use only identical
Ryobi replacement parts. Use of any
other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage. For repairs
or adjustments, always take the unit
to an authorized Ryobi service
dealer.
BLADE CLEANING
For longest life and easiest trimming, blade
cleaning should be performed if sap and debris
have built up, or if you live in an area where the
soil is sandy. Cleaning unusually heavy deposits
requires removal of the blades.
