Do not use the cutting heads if there is any sign of damage or if cutting
edges are blunt this will over stress the motor and gearbox of the
machine.
•
Check the outer sections of the body and safety switch for any
damage and if present get a qualified person to replace.
•
Every time you use the hedge trimmer clean all parts especially the
ventilation slots and cutting heads and remove any moisture debris or
dust and store in a clean dry environment.
•
Keep the blades suitably lubricated to allow free movement and
prevent rust. A standard household 3-in-1 oil can be used.
•
Do not use or submerge the trimmer in water or use cleaning agents of
solvents, these may damage the materials present on the trimmer.
Li-Ion battery care & maintenance
Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries require routine maintenance and care in
their use and handling. Read and follow the guidelines to safely use Lithium-
Ion batteries and achieve the maximum battery life span.
•
Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in
the machine or in storage. When a battery has been unused for 3
months or more, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the
battery as appropriate.
•
The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two years or
300 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period
of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged
again.
•
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries have a limited life and will
gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity
(aging) is irreversible. As the battery loses capacity, the length of time it
will power the product (run time) decreases.
•
Lithium-Ion batteries continue to slowly discharge (self-discharge) when
not in use or while in storage. Routinely check the battery’s charge
status.
•
Carefully monitor batteries that are approaching the end of their
estimated life.
•
Consider replacing the battery with a new one if you note either of the
following conditions:
The battery run time drops below about 60% of the original run
time.
The battery charge time increases significantly.
