Daily inspections and maintenance tasks
Carry out the following maintenance tasks regularly, so that your machine has a long working life, and
to avoid damage to the machine.
Before use:
Check the machine for loose bolts and missing parts. Ensure in particular that the bolts of the cutting
knives are tightened correctly.
Confirm that the cooling air passages and cylinder fins are not blocked. Clean these when required.
Clean the fuel tank, and check for leaks and for foreign bodies in the tank.
After use:
Clean the hedge trimmer externally, and check it for damage.
Clean the air filter. If you are working under very dusty conditions, clean the filter several times each
day.
Check the cutting knives for damage, and ensure that they are correctly mounted.
