Care and maintenance
To ensure long and reliable service, carry out the following maintenance
regularly:
Check for obvious defects such as loose, dislodged, worn or damaged parts.
Check that covers and guards are correctly tted and undamaged.
Before use, visually check the condition of the cutting blade. If worn replace with a
fresh blade.
Clean inside the guard after use. Remove any dirt or debris using a suitable
wooden or plastic tool. Do not use water, solvents, or polishes to clean the
trimmer. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Store in a dry place. Do not expose to
moisture.
Cutting and edging
Caution: before use remove any stones, loose debris and other objects from
the cutting area.
Always take care when other people are around you. The trimmer may throw
out stones and debris at high speed.
WARNING : always wear eye protection when using the trimmer.
Hold the trimmer away from the body using both hands. Stand in a secure and
stable position. When cutting move slowly and steadily along the line of cut,
moving the trimmer from side to side.
Take care not to overload the trimmer. Attempting to force the trimmer to cut may
damage the motor. To prevent overloading cut long or difcult foliage in stages
with several light cuts.
NOTE: the trimmer is tted with a self-resetting protective cut-out. This will
stop the trimmer if the motor becomes overloaded. If this occurs, wait a few
seconds for the cut-out to reset and then use lighter cuts.
Take care not to grind the rotating parts against the ground as this will wear parts
and cause damage to the trimmer.
Take care when trimming around objects such as stone or concrete as these can
damage the trimmer blade and parts that attach the blade.
