CLEANING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
•Remove the battery pack.
•Slide the blade cover over the blade.
•Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer, using a damp cloth with a mild
detergent.
NOTE: Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing or the handle. They can
be damaged by certain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as
kerosene.
•Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft dry cloth.
•Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum cleaner brush to clear dust or debris
from the air vents on the motor housing.
STORING THE HEDGE TRIMMER

ventilated place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as
garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
•Always place the blade cover on the cutting blades before storing.
