CLEAN THE HEDGE TRIMMER
■ Remove the battery pack.
■ Slide the scabbard over the blade.
■ Clean dirt and debris from the body of the
hedge trimmer, using a damp cloth with a
mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not use any strong detergents on
the plastic housing or the handles. They can
be damaged by certain aromatic oils such
as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as
kerosene.
■ Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe
off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
■ Use a small brush or the air discharge of
a small vacuum cleaner brush to clear dust
or debris from the air vents on the motor
housing.
TRANSPORTING AND STORING
■ Always place the scabbard on the blade
before storing or transporting the hedge
trimmer. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth
of the blade.
■ Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before
storing. Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a
dry, well-ventilated place that is inaccessible
to children. Keep away from corrosive agents
such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
