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 a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease,
etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic, which
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
When cleaning the tool, DO NOT immerse it water or other liquids.
CLEANING
◾ Remove the power plug from the tool.
◾ After each use, clear the debris, clogged soils, grass on the blade or the guard or the grass that may have
wrapped itself around the drive shaft or trimmer head with a soft brush.
◾ Wipe the tool surface with a clean cloth moistened with a mild soap solution.
◾ Use a small brush or a small vacuum cleaner to clean the air vents on the rear housing. Keep the air vents
free of obstructions.
◾ 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.
TRIMMER HEAD REPLACEMENT
WARNING:
If the head loosens after it is fixed in position, replace it immediately. Never use a trimmer
with a loose cutting attachment. Replace a cracked, damaged, or worn-out cutting head immediately, even if
damage is limited to superficial cracks. Such attachments may shatter at high speed and cause serious injury.
SHARPEN THE LINE-CUTTING BLADE
WARNING:
Always protect your hands by wearing heavy gloves when performing any
maintenance on the line-cutting blade.
1. Remove the line-cutting blade from the guard accessory.
2. Secure the blade in a vise.
3. Wear proper eye protection and gloves and be careful not to cut yourself.
4. Carefully file the cutting edges of the blade with a fine-tooth file or sharpening stone, being careful
to maintain the original cutting-edge angle.
5. Replace the blade onto the guard and secure it in place with the two screws.
