SAVE
The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel and with
normal usage, they will not require
resharpening.
However,
accidentally hit a wire fence (Fig. 12),
stones, glass, or other hard objects,
you may put a nick in the blade. There
is no need to remove this nick as long
as it does not interfere with the
movement of the blade. If it does
interfere, remove the battery and use a
fine toothed file or sharpening stone to
remove the nick. If you drop the
trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage.
If the blade is bent, housing cracked,
handles broken or if you see any other
condition that may affect the trimmer's operation contact your local
D
WALT authorized service center for repairs before putting it back into
e
use.
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the unit on or adjacent
to fertilizers or chemicals.
With the battery removed, use only mild soap and a damp cloth to
clean the unit. Never let any liquid get inside the unit; never immerse
any part of the unit into a liquid. Prevent the blades from rusting by
applying a film of light machine oil after cleaning.
