Lubrication

before and after each use.
Apply a drop of the oil to the
points indicated by the arrows.
Remounting the blade
Fit the mounting hook into the
blade mounting on the trimmer
and then push in until you hear
a click.
► Blade life
Blade life varies according to the frequency and length of use of
the trimmer.
For example, the blade life is approximately 3 years when using
the trimmer for 5 minutes 10 times a month. Replace the blades if
cutting efficiency reduces substantially despite proper
maintenance.
► Battery life
Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use.
If the battery is charged once every 2 weeks, the service life will
be approximately 3 years.
• It is recommended that the trimmer be recharged at least every 6
months even when not in regular use because the charge will
drain from the battery and its service life may be shortened.

trimmer. Please make sure that the battery is disposed of at an
officially designated location if there is one. Do not dismantle or
