Maintenance

Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and performance of your trimmer.

  1. Always ensure the trimmer is turned off and the battery is removed or disconnected before cleaning.
  2. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove grass clippings and debris from the blades and housing.
  3. For stubborn residue, a damp cloth can be used, but ensure no water enters the motor housing.
  4. After cleaning, dry the blades thoroughly to prevent rust. Applying a light coat of machine oil to the blades can also help prevent rust and maintain sharpness.

Storage

Store the trimmer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

For long-lasting battery performance, it is recommended to charge the battery every few months, even when not in use.

Always store the trimmer with the blade cover in place to prevent accidental injury and protect the blades.
