SPECIFICATIONS
WARNING: To avoid serious
personal injury, be sure the unit is off and
unplugged before cleaning or performing
any maintenance on it.
SERVICING OF DOUBLE INSULATED UNITS
This unit is double-insulated. In a double-insulated unit,
two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No means of grounding are provided on a
double-insulated unit, nor should a means for grounding
be added to this unit.
Servicing a double-insulated unit requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be done only
by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated unit must be identical to the parts they
replace. Refer any repair to an authorized service dealer.
A double-insulated unit is marked with the words
“DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOUBLE INSULATED.”
CLEANING THE UNIT
1. With the switch in the OFF position, disconnect the
Hedge Trimmer from the power source.
2. Use a small brush or the air discharge of a vacuum
cleaner brush to keep the air vents free of
obstructions.
3. Do not use strong detergents on the plastic housing
or components. These can be damaged by certain
household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such
as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as
kerosene or acetone. Moisture can also cause a
shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry
cloth.
INSPECT EXTENSION CORDS
Inspect all extension cords periodically. Look closely for
deterioration, cuts or cracks in the insulation. Inspect the
connectors for damage. Replace cords if defective or
damaged.
STORAGE
• Store the unit indoors, away from moisture and
harmful substances such as fertilizers and solvents.
• Store the unit in a dry, well ventilated area.
• Store the unit inside in a dry place, either locked up
or up high to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
Keep out of the reach of children.
