MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
 Slide the scabbard over the blade.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer,
using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
NOTE: 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 cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture
with a soft dry cloth.
 Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum
cleaner brush to clear dust or debris from the air vents
on the motor housing.
STORING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
See Figure 11.

Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing. Store
the hedge trimmer in a dry, well-ventilated place that is
inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents
such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
 Always place the scabbard on the cutting blades before
storing.
