Cleaning and Storage
Make sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are tight and
that the guard is fitted correctly.
All damaged and worn parts should be replaced in order to
maintain the Hedge Trimmer in a safe working condition.
Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at
all times. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best
done with compressed air or a rag. Never use caustic
agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic
parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
Special care should be taken when cleaning and adjusting
the blades. This should only be done with the Hedge
Trimmer switched off and disconnected from the mains
supply to prevent injury.
The Hedge Trimmer should always be stored with the
protective blade cover fitted and secured in place.
Store the tool, instruction manual and accessories in a
secure, dry place.
Ensure that the cable and any extension cable used are
checked for damage and are coiled correctly without kinks.
Power Cord Maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be
carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s
agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid
a safety hazard.
