GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEAN THE UNIT
◾ Clear any grass that may have wrapped itself around
the motor shaft or trimmer head.
◾ Use a small brush or a small vacuum cleaner to clean
the air vents on the rear housing.
◾ Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild
detergent.
◾ Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or the handle. They can be damaged by
certain aromatic oils, such as pine and lemon, and by
solvents such as kerosene. Moisture can also cause
a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry
cloth.
TRANSMISSION GEARS LUBRICATION
The transmission gears in the gear case need be
lubricated periodically with gear grease. Check the gear
case grease level about every 50 hours of operation by
removing the sealing screw on the side of the case.

screw is facing upwards (Fig. O).
2. Use the multi-function wrench provided to loosen and
remove the sealing screw.

grease into the screw hole; do not exceed 3/4
capacity.
4. Tighten the sealing screw after injection.
STORING THE UNIT
◾ Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
◾ Clean the tool thoroughly before storing it.
◾ If the line trimmer attachment is removed from the
power head and stored separately: Fit the end cap
