.2 Shutdown and storage
It is best to store the unit in a dry, secure location.
Open flames or similar must not be nearby.
Prevent unauthorised use – particularly by
children.
Before cleaning always switch OFF the motor and
pull the mains supply plug from its socket.
Never hose down this power tool.
x Clean cuttings from the cutting area with a
hand-held brush.
x Only use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean
the entire machine. Never use solvents or
abrasive cleaning agents. Before connecting the
equipment to the mains supply, the motor
casing and its interior must not be damp.
x Clean and maintain the cutter.
We recommend: clean with "SOLO Universal-
Reiniger (Cleaner)" and
treat with "SOLO maintenance and care oil"
Never use grease.
