MAINTENANCE
Your STANLEY FATMAX power tool has been designed
to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper tool care and regular cleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
Blade Maintenance (Fig. J)
The cutting blades are made from high quality, hardened steel
and with normal usage, they will not require resharpening.
However, if you accidentally hit a wire fence (Fig. J), stones, glass,
or other hard objects, you may put a nick in the blade. There
is no need to remove this nick as long as it does not interfere
with the movement of the blade. If it does interfere, remove
the battery and use a fine toothed file or sharpening stone to
remove the nick. If you drop the trimmer, carefully inspect it for
damage. If the blade is bent, housing cracked, handles broken
or if you see any other condition that may affect the trimmer's
operation contact your local authorized service center for repairs
before putting it back into use.
Blade Lubrication (Fig. K)
1. After use, remove the battery.
2. Carefully apply a resin solvent to the exposed blades.
3. Insert the battery and turn the trimmer vertical with the
blades toward the ground and run the trimmer for a few
seconds to fully disperse the lubrication.
4. Keeping your hands away from the blade, slide the
sheath over the blade until it snaps into place as shown
7
in Figure K.
Storage
Fertilizers and other garden chemicals contain agents which
greatly accelerate the corrosion of metals. Do not store the unit
on or adjacent to fertilizers or chemicals.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing this procedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals
for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.
Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any
part of the tool into a liquid.
