MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
TRIMMER/EDGER
WARNING: INSPECT THE TRIMMER/
EDGER. REGULAR INSPECTION
IS THE FIRST STEP TO PROPER
MAINTENANCE. FOLLOW THE
GUIDELINES BELOW TO MAXIMIZE
SAFETY AND SATISFACTION. HAVE
ANY DAMAGED OR EXCESSIVELY
WORN PARTS REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. FAILURE TO IDENTIFY
AND REPLACE DAMAGED OR
WORN PARTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING: REMOVE THE BATTERY
PACK FROM THE TRIMMER/EDGER
BEFORE INSPECTING, CLEANING,
OR PERFORMING MAINTENANCE. A
BATTERY OPERATED TOOL WITH THE
BATTERY PACK INSERTED IS ALWAYS
ON AND CAN START ACCIDENTALLY.
CAUTION: WHEN CLEANING THE
TRIMMER/EDGER, DO NOT IMMERSE
IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS.
CLEAN THE TRIMMER/EDGER
•Wipe dust, leaves, and clippings from
the trimmer/edger.
•Clear the air vents to ensure proper
airflow and prevent overheating.
•Remove grass or weeds wound around
the shaft and trimmer head.
•Wipe the trimmer motor housing with
a clean cloth moistened with mild soap
and water.
•Never use harsh cleaners or solvents.
IMPORTANT: KEEPING THE VENTS
CLEAR AND REMOVING DEBRIS
WRAPPED AROUND THE TRIMMER
MOTOR HOUSING WILL HELP
PREVENT OVERHEATING.
INSPECT THE TRIMMER HEAD
•Make sure the trimmer head is free of
cracks or other damage. If it is damaged,
replace it. Serious personal injury can
result if a damaged trimmer head breaks
during use.
•Check that the trimmer head rotates
freely and that the trimmer line
advances. If the trimmer head fails to
rotate freely, see “Correcting grass bind”.
•If the trimmer line gets stuck or
is tangled, rewind the spool. See
“Replacing trimmer line”.
INSPECT THE HANDLES
Make sure that both the front and rear
handles are clean, dry, and are free of
cracks or other damage. Serious personal
injury can result if a damaged handle
breaks during use.
INSPECT BATTERY PORT
Make sure the battery port is clean, dry,
and free of debris. Debris in the battery
port can prevent a good electrical
connection between the battery pack
and the trimmer/edger.
