MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always remove the battery
when performing any maintenance on
the power handle or a tool attachment
that is connected to the power handle.
WARNING: Always keep hands away
from the triggers when performing
maintenance on the power handle.
LUBRICATION - No periodic
lubrication of the power handle,
accessory handle or gearbox is
required. After each use, remove
debris from the blades using a brush
and wipe the blades dry with a cloth.
Apply a small amount of machine oil
or clean motor oil to all blade surfaces
using a cloth to help prevent corrosion
of the blades and prepare them for the
next use.
CLEANING OF PLASTIC PARTS
- Use only a dry brush or a cloth
with warm water and mild soap to
clean plastic parts. Many household
cleaners contain chemicals which
could damage the plastic. Never use
gasoline, turpentine, paint thinner or
similar fluids. Never spray-wash tool
or immerse in water. Water or liquid
inside the tool can cause serious
damage to the unit.
DROPPING THE UNIT - If you drop
the unit, carefully inspect it for any
damage before using it again. Have
the unit professionally repaired if
damage has occurred.
STORAGE
TEMPERATURE - Temperature
extremes limit the useful life of the
battery. The best storage place is one
that is cool and dry. Store the tool
away from direct sunlight, heating
pipes, furnaces, etc. Do not store
where temperatures go below +40 F or
above +120 F.
PREVENTING CORROSION -
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals
contain compounds that greatly
accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do
not store the appliance on or adjacent
to fertilizers or chemicals.
