Before performing any
maintenance, switch off and unplug the tool.
■ Regularly clean the ventilation slot in your line
trimmer using a soft brush or dry cloth.

brush or dry cloth.
■ Regularly use a blunt scraper to remove grass and
dirt from the underside of the guard.

When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may
