Maintenance
Clean the Machine
Clean the machine thoroughly to remove all dust and debris, after every work session.
•
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
handgrips.
•
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.
Clean 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:
•
Place the machine in a stable horizontal position on the ground.
•
Use a soft cloth to clean the blades, along with a brush to remove more
difficult dirt and debris.
•
Lubricate the blades by applying a light layer of specific oil, preferably the
non-pollutant type, along the upper edge of the blade.
•
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.
