shock.hazard!
• Keep clean the ventilation slots, motor
housing and handles of the appliance.
Use a damp cloth or a brush.
Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
You may otherwise irreparably dam-
age the appliance.
• After every trimming session, remove
grass and soil from the protective cover
and the trimming assembly.
• To thoroughly clean the trimming as-
sembly, remove the cutting insert
( 13) (see “Replacing the cutting
insert”) and use a sharp knife to clean
the pin ( 24).
General maintenance
• Prior to every use, check the appliance
for obvious defects such as loose, worn
or damaged parts.
Check that the screws in the cutting
disk are tight.
• Check covers and safety devices for
damages and correct installation. Re-
place as necessary.
Replacing the cutting insert
1. Slide the cutting insert (13) in-
ward and push it out of the pin
(24) on the cutting disk (12).
2. Place the new cutting insert (13)
on the pin (24) and pull out the
insert until it snaps in.
Storage
• Store the trimmer in a dry place well
out of reach of children.
• Do not stand the trimmer on its pro-
tective cover. Suspend it by its upper
handle in such a manner that the pro-
tective cover does not come into con-
tact with other objects. This is because
the protective cover could become
deformed, thereby changing its dimen-
sions and its safety properties.
• In order to keep the battery well
charged, avoid exposing the appli-
ance to extreme heat or cold in stor-
age.
• Remove the battery before storing the
unit for longer periods of time.
