cloth or a brush if the unit is very dirty.
2. Never spray the hedge trimmer with water.
3. Keep the ventilation slits clean and dust-free.
4. Clean the cutter bar after each use. Remove
contamination, remains of blades etc.
5. Spray the cutter bar with maintenance oil to ensure
that the hedge trimmer has a long service life. Preferably
use environmentally friendly lubricants, e.g. service
sprays.

film of oil to the cutter bar.
Blade Care

blades.

the hedge trimmer blade before and after each use.
2. Before lubricating, remove the battery pack and lay
hedge trimmer on a flat surface.
3. Apply light machine oil along the edge of the top
blade.
4. Always remove the battery pack before lubricating
the blades and never apply oil to moving blades
Storage
1. Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing.
2. Store the hedge trimmer with the battery removed in a
dry, well-ventilated place that is inaccessible to
children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and deicing salts.

This will protect the blades from damage and prevent injury
on the sharp blades.
