Clean the Trimmer
•
Clear any grass that may have wrapped itself around the motor shaft or trimmer head.
•
Use a small brush or a small vacuum cleaner to clean the air vents.
•
Keep the air vents free of obstructions.
•
Clean the unit using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
•
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 also cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture with a soft, dry
cloth.
