Cleaning the Unit
m
WARNING!
To avoid serious personal injury, always
turn the unit off and remove the batteries before cleaning or
servicing.
Use a small brush to clean the outside of the unit. Do not use
strong detergents, household cleaners that contain aromatic
oils (e.g. pine and lemon) or harsh solvents such as kerosene
as these substances can damage the plastic housing or the
handle. Wipe off any moisture with a soft, dry cloth.
1. Empty the bag after each use to avoid deterioration and
obstructing air flow, which will reduce the performance of the
mulcher.

needed. Turn the bag inside out after initial emptying and
vigorously shake out dust and debris.
