Cleaning/Maintenance
Leave any work not covered
in this manual to our Service
Centre. Only use original
parts. There is a risk of injury!
Ensure that the safety key (
7) is
removed before all tasks.
Never use cleaning agents or sol-
vents, which can cause irreparable
damage to the unit. Chemicals can
attack the plastic components on the
unit.
Wear gloves when handling the
blades (
9/12). There is a risk of
injury from cuts!
Clean and service the unit regularly as fol-
lows. This guarantees a long life for your
unit:
• Check the covers and guards for dam-
age and correct position. If necessary,
replace.
• Keep the ventilation slits, motor housing
and handles on the equipment clean. To
do this, use a damp cloth or brush.
• Always keep the blade clean.
After using the equipment, it is impera-
tive to:
- Clean the blade
(with an oily cloth);
- Oil the blade shaft
with an oil can or
spray.
• Slight notches on the blades can be
evened out. For this, sand down the
blades with an oil stone. Only sharp
blades can cut properly.
• Blunt, bent or damaged blades must be
changed.
We are not liable for damage caused by the
use of the unit if the original cause was im-
proper repair or the use of non-original parts
or through use other than that designated in
this manual.
Storage
• Keep the equipment in the blade guard
supplied, dry and out of reach of chil-
dren.
• Store the battery only in a partially
charged state. The state of charge should
be 40 – 60 % over a longer storage pe-
riod.
• Store the equipment between 10° C and
25° C. During storage, avoid extreme cold
or heat so the battery does not lose power.
• During a longer storage period, check
the state of charge of the battery and
recharge if necessary roughly every
3 months.
Disposal and the
environment
Be environmentally friendly. Return the tool,
accessories and packaging to a recycling
centre when you have finished with them.
Machines do not belong with domes-
tic waste.
Do not dispose of the device
with the battery installed in
household waste, fire (risk of ex-
plosion) or water. Damaged batteries may
damage the environment and your health if
toxic fumes or liquids leak out.
• Dispose of the equipment with the bat-
tery discharged. Do not open the equip-
ment or the battery.
• Dispose of the equipment in accordance
