How should I maintain and store my Hedge Trimmer?

Maintenance:

• Stop the motor and disconnect the unit from the power supply.
• Clean dirt and debris from the body of the hedge trimmer using a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing or the handle. These parts can be damaged by certain aromatic oils such as pine and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.

Storage:

• Always place the blade cover on the blade before storing or transporting the hedge trimmer. Use caution to avoid the sharp teeth of the blade.
• Clean the hedge trimmer thoroughly before storing. Store the hedge trimmer indoors, in a dry place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents such as garden chemicals and de-icing salts.
