MAINTENANCE

BLADE CLEANING – After you have finished trimming, you may find that
dirt and vegetation have accumulated on the blades. Use a dry scrub brush
to clean debris off of blades. A penetrating oil spray can be used to soften
hard deposits.
WARNING: To prevent injury, keep hands away from the trigger during cleaning of
blades.
BLADE LUBRICATION – After using the unit in wet conditions, wipe the blades
with a cloth and allow them to dry. Then, with a rag, apply a thin film of light oil to
the top and bottom of blades. DO NOT over-oil. Turn the unit ON for a few seconds
to work lubricant between the blades.
LUBRICATION – Aside from blade lubrication, no periodic lubrication of other

ter and mild soap to clean plastic parts. Many household cleaners contain chemi-
cals, which could damage the plastic. Never use gasoline, turpentine, paint thinner
or similar fluids. Never spray-wash tool or immerse in water. Water or liquid inside
the tool can cause serious damage to the unit.
DROPPING THE UNIT – If you drop the unit, carefully inspect it for any damage
before using it again.
