MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
CLEANING THE GRASS SHEAR
• Remove the battery pack.
• Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild
detergent.
• Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic
housing or rear 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 clean the air vents on the
battery housing and motor housing.
• Keep the air vents free of obstructions.
STORING THE GRASS SHEAR
• Clean the grass shear thoroughly before storing.
Store the grass shear 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 blade cover on cutting blades before
storing.
See Figure 7.
