USING THE TRIMMER HEAD

• Stand on a stable surface, and hold the tool away from the branches so that the angle of the tool is at 60° or less against the horizontal ground (fig.9).
• Start the tool, and then press the shear blades onto the branch lightly. When cutting long and thin branches, in order to control the drop position of cut branches, divide the branch in sections and cut the branch from the tip.

CARRYING THE CORDLESS TRIMMER

• Prior to carrying the cordless trimmer remove the battery and fit the blade guard (fig 10).

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Remove battery before attempting any cleaning, maintaining or storing the device.

CLEANING

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• Clean the equipment immediately after use.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. DO NOT use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment.
