Maintenance/Cleaning
Repair and servicing work not
described in this manual should
always be carried by our Service
Centre (see p.29 for address). Use
only original parts.
Pull out the power plug before carry-
ing out any work on the equipment.
Wear gloves while handling the
blades.
Carry out the following maintenance and
cleaning work regularly. This will guarantee
a long and reliable service life.
• Before each use, check the hedge trim-
mer for obvious defects such as loose,
worn or damaged parts. Check the
secure seating of the bolts in the cutter
bar ( 2).
• Do not use the unit if the blades are
blunt or worn. This will overstress the
motor and gearbox of the machine.
• Check coverings and safety devices
( 1,3) for damage and correct seat-
ing. Replace these where necessary.
• Keep the ventilation slots ( 5) and
motor housing of the device clean. Use
a damp cloth or a brush to do this. Do
not wash down the equipment with wa-
ter, or submerge it in water.
• Do not use any cleaning agents or sol-
vents. These could cause irreparable
damage to the equipment. Chemical
substances can attack the plastic parts
of the equipment.
• Clean the cutter bar ( 2) carefully after
each use. Wipe it off with an oily cloth or
spray it with a metal protective spray.
• Keep the hedge trimmer dry and cov-
ered with the blade protection supplied
and out of reach of children.
Storage
• Keep the trimmer in the blade guard
( 10) supplied, in a dry place and out
of reach of children.
