Cleaning the device
ATTENTION
Improper cleaning

Do not use solvents to clean the handle housing.
Use clean cloths to remove contaminants such as dust,
oil or lubricants.
ATTENTION
Contact with chemicals
Damage to plastic parts
Do not leave the plastic parts with chemicals such as B

3. Clean the handle housing with a soft, dry cloth.
Oiling the cutting blade
In order to maintain the cutting blade quality, the cutting
blade sections should be oiled after each use.
Note
Using thin machine oil or spray oil will yield very good
results.
1. Place the device on a flat surface.
2. Apply the oil to the cutting blade.
Illustration I
Before each startup, the following maintenance activi-
ties must be carried out:
 Check the device for damage.
 Check all bolts, nuts and screws for tightness; re-
tighten if necessary.
Illustration J
 Check the sharpness of the cutting blade. Replace
blunt cutting blade.
As the battery pack ages, even if it is looked after, its ca-
pacity reduces such that the full run time will no longer
be reached when fully charged. This does not indicate a
defect.
Rectification
 Charge the battery pack.
 Replace the battery pack.
 Push the battery pack into the mounting
until it latches into place.
 Remove the clippings.
 Stop working and allow the battery to cool
down to normal battery temperature.
 Stop working and allow the motor to cool
down.
