The cutting blades are made from high quality,
hardened steel and with normal usage, they will
not require resharpening. However, if you
accidentally hit a wire fence, stones, glass or
other hard objects, you may put a nick in the
blade. There is no need to remove this nick as
long as it does not interfere with the movement
of the blade. if it does interfere, unplug unit
and use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone
to remove the nick.

If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for
damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked,
or handles broken or if you see any other
condition that may affect the trimmer’s
operation contact the authorized Center for
repairs before putting it back into use.

agents which greatly accelerate the corrosion of
