MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
Ensure the hedge trimmer is
disconnected from the power supply before
performing any of the following operations.
• When not in use, the Hedge Trimmer should be
stored in a dry, frost free location not within the reach
of children.
• Keep ventilation slots of the Hedge Trimmer clean at
all times and prevent any foreign matter from entering.
• If the enclosure of the Hedge Trimmer requires
cleaning do not use solvents but a moist cloth only.
• There are no user serviceable parts in the Hedge
Trimmer; if a fault is suspected or the supply cord
requires replacement, return the Trimmer to a power
tool repairer.
• The blade rail should be cleaned and treated with
light machine oil or spray lubricant (such as WD40,
CRC 5.56 or RP7) after each use. When a job lasts for
a longer period of time it is recommended that the
blade rail also be treated with spray lubricant at
regular intervals during operation.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the hedge
trimmer will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as
soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior
to recommencing use of the hedge trimmer. Carbon
brushes are a wearing component of the hedge
trimmer therefore not covered under warranty.
Continuing to use the hedge trimmer when carbon
brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent
damage to the hedge trimmer. Carbon brushes will
wear out after many uses but when the carbon
brushes need to be replaced, take the hedge trimmer
to an electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick
and low cost replacement. Always replace both
carbon brushes at the same time.
Note:
Aavix will not be responsible for any damage or
injuries caused by the repair of the hedge trimmer by
an unauthorized person or by mishandling of the
hedge trimmer. This tool is designed for DIY use - use
in commercial or industrial environments will void the
warranty.
