MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Use only the original manufacturer's replacement parts, accessories and
attachments. Failure to do so can cause possible injury, poor performance and may
void your warranty.
You may make adjustments and repairs as described in the manual. For other
repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorised service agent.
Consequences of improper maintenance may include excessive carbon deposits
resulting in the loss of performance and discharge of black oily residue dripping
from the silencer.
Make sure all guards, straps, deflectors and handles are properly and securely
attached to avoid the risk of personal injury.
The cutting attachment must not rotate in idle mode. If this requirement is not
satisfied, the clutch has to be adjusted or the machine needs urgent maintenance
by a qualified technician.
