CLEANING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
WARNING
To prevent serious personal injury, remove the battery
pack before servicing, cleaning, or removing material
from the unit.
■ Remove the battery pack.
■ 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 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 clean the air vents on the
battery pack housing and motor housing. Keep the air
vents free of obstructions.
STORING THE HEDGE TRIMMER See Figure 8.
■ Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing.
Store the hedge trimmer in a dry, well-ventilated
place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away
from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and
deicing salts.
■ Always place blade cover on cutting blades before
storing.
■ Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
■ Store the battery pack where the temperature is
below 27°C, and away from moisture.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Wait
for battery pack to cool and fully charge immediately.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
or below normal room
the temperature, the quicker they lose their charge.
If you store your unit for long periods of time without
using it, recharge the batteries every month or two.
This practice will prolong battery pack life.
