MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark
plug or disconnect from power supply. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or de-
stroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here.
For other repairs, have the tool serviced by an authorized
service dealer.
TINE MAINTENANCE
 Occasionally apply a few drops of oil to the shaft to keep
the tines free on the shaft.
 If tines are being replaced due to wear, all four tines
should be replaced as a set.
