WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during tool operation. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before inspecting, cleaning, or servicing the machine,
shut off engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and
disconnect spark plug wire and move it away from spark
plug. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
serious personal injury or property damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents
and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, lubricant, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, petrol, petroleum-
based products, penetrating lubricants, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
You can often make adjustments and repairs described here. For
other repairs, have the trimmer serviced by an authorised service
dealer.

with carbon deposits. If you notice a power loss with your petrol
powered tool, you may need to remove these deposits to restore
performance. We highly recommend that only qualified service
technicians perform this service.
SPARK ARRESTOR
The spark arrestor must be replaced every 50 hours or yearly
to ensure proper performance of your product. Spark arrestors
may be in different locations depending on the model purchased.
Please contact your nearest service dealer for the location of the
