Maintenance and storage
a. Always unplug the machine from the electric power
supply (i.e. remove from the power outlet) before
cleaning or performing maintenance.
b. Use only parts and accessories recommended by the
manufacturer.
c. Inspect and maintain the machine regularly. The
machine must only be repaired by authorized personnel.
d. When the machine is not in use, store it in a place
away from the reach of children.
Warning! To avoid serious injury, turn off and unplug
the tool before performing any maintenance.
1. Keep the air intake slots clear (Fig. N) to prevent
overheating.
2. The cutting line can dry out over time. To keep
the string in optimum conditions, store the pre-coiled
replacement spools or the line in a sealed plastic bag
with a tablespoon of water.
3. Plastic parts can be cleaned using mild soap and a
damp cloth.
4. The line cutter on the end of the guard can become
dull over time. We recommend periodical maintenance
of the blade’s edge with a file.

RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other

by authorized
service centers or other qualified service
personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
