Care and Maintenance
Remove the battery from the tool during storage. Take care not to short the battery
contact terminals with metal objects. Store the tool in a secure, dry place out of reach
of children and animals. Storage outside in a damp environment such as a garden shed may
cause certain items such as the blades to corrode. Always clean and lubricate the cutting
blade before storage.
Do not use abrasive materials to clean the product or immerse it in water. Clean the exterior of
the machine thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Remove
all debris especially from the ventilation slots on the motor housing.
Do not place other objects on top of the machine.
When transporting or storing the trimmer always t the protective blade guard.
When not in use remove any attachments from the trimmer.
CAUTION: ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AFTER USE AND BEFORE
CARRYING OUT ANY SERVICING OR MAINTENANCE.
WARNING: wear protective gloves before handling the blade.
To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following maintenance regularly:
Check for obvious defects such as loose, dislodged or damaged blades, loose xings and worn
or damaged components.
Check that covers and guards are undamaged and correctly tted.
Blade maintenance:
Wear gloves when handling or cleaning the cutting blade.
Always clean the cutting blade after operation and coat it with a lubricating oil or
spray. This will prevent the blade becoming seized or corroded during storage.
During longer cutting periods 15 minutes or greater it is recomme nded to lubricate the blade,
this will improve cutting performance and extend the batteries run time. A lack of lubrication to
the blade can severely effect the products run time and may cause the blade to overheat.
Before use visually check the condition of the cutting edges of the cutting blade and check the
tightness of the blade bolts.
When not in use ensure that the blade is covered with the blade guard provided and that it
has been lubricated. Failure to do so may cause the blade to corrode and will severely reduce
cutting performance and battery run times.
If the product needs to be repaired or replaced only use replacement parts which are
approved by the manufacturer. Spare parts can be purchased from Grey Technology Ltd:
