CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.
Clean the trimmer after each use
WARNING
• To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery pack from the tool before servicing,
cleaning, changing attachments or removing material from the tool.
a. Clear any grass that may have wrapped itself around the motor shaft or trimmer head.
b. Use only a clean, dry and soft cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
c. Keep the air vents free from debris at all times.
NOTICE: Obstructing the vents will prevent the air from flowing into the motor housing and
may result in overheating or damage to the motor.
WARNING
• Never use water for cleaning your trimmer. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Use
clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
6. Line Replacement
NOTICE: Always use triangle-shaped twisted nylon cutting line with a size that does not
exceed 0.08 in. (2.0 mm). Using line other than that specified may cause the string trimmer to
overheat or become damaged.
WARNING
• Never use metal-reinforced line, wire, or rope,
etc. These can break off and become dangerous
projectiles.
