7.3 CLEANING THE MACHINE
AND THE ENGINE
To reduce fire hazards, keep the machine
and, in particular, the motor free of leaves,
branches or excessive grease.
• Always clean the machine after use with a
damp cloth dipped in neutral detergent.
• Remove all traces of humidity using
a soft damp cloth. Humidity can
generate risks of electric shocks.
• Do not use aggressive detergents or solvents
to clean the plastic parts or hand grips.
• Do not spray water onto the motor
and electrical components and
prevent them from getting wet.
• To avoid overheating and damage to the
motor or the battery, always keep the
cooling air vents clean and free of debris.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
OF THE CUTTING MEANS
To increase the efficiency and working life
of the blades, clean and lubricate them
carefully after each work session:
DANGER

machine is not disconnected from the
battery backpack and if the cutting means
is not completely at a standstill.
1. Place the machine in a stable
horizontal position on the ground.
2. Use a soft cloth to clean the blades,
along with a brush to remove
more difficult dirt and debris.
3. Lubricate the blades by applying a light layer
of specific oil, preferably the non-pollutant
type, along the upper edge of the blade.
7.5 NUTS AND BOLTS
• Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight to be sure
the equipment is in safe working condition.
• Check regularly that the
handles are fixed firmly.
