MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, turn unit off and remove
the battery pack before making any adjustments
or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Blade Maintenance (Fig.L)
The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened
steel and with normal usage, they will not require
resharpening. However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence
(Fig.L), stones, glass, or other hard objects, you may put
a nick in the blade. There is no need to remove this nick
as long as it does not interfere with the movement of the
blade. If it does interfere, remove the battery and use a fine
toothed file or sharpening stone to remove the nick. If you
drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for damage. If the
blade is bent, housing cracked, handles broken or if you see
any other condition that may affect the trimmer’s operation
contact your local authorized service center for repairs
before putting it back into use.
