• BLADE
LUBRICATION
For easier operation and
longer blade life, lubricate the
garden trimmer blade before
and after each use. Apply light
machine oil along the edge of
the blade bar. (Fig. 6)
Your trimmer should be stopped, disconnected and oiled
occasionally during use.
1. The cutting blades are made from high quality, hard-
ened 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.
2. If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for dam-
age. 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 an authorized service
center for repairs before putting it back into use.
3. Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents
which greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do
not store the tool on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemi-
cals.
4. With the unit unplugged, use only mild soap and a
damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into
a liquid.
SERVICING DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCE
In this double-insulated appliance, two systems of insula-
tion are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor
should a means for grounding be added to the appliance.
There are no owner serviceable parts insidel. A double-
insulated appliance is marked with the words, “DOUBLE
INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED”. The symbol
(square within a square) may also be marked on the appli-
ance.
Any service must only be carried out by a qualified tech-
nician at an authorized service centre.
1.
Place switch in “OFF” position and unplug the power
supply before the appliance is serviced, cleaned or
maintenance is performed.
2.
Keep air intake clean and air vents free of debris to
avoid overheating the motor.
3.
Clean with a damp sponge and mild soap. Do not
squirt with water, hose with water or other liquids.
4.
No lubrication is necessary as the motor is equipped
with lifetime lubricated bearings.

If the blower does not operate, turn switch to “OFF”
position and disconnect extension from power sup-
ply first, then from blower. Check power supply for
blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers. Do not

Before lubricating, be sure your
garden trimmer is disconnected from the power
supply. Failure to do so can result in accidental
