Storage
Follow these recommendations for storing the trimmer. 
• Clean the grass trimmer thoroughly before storing.
• Store the grass trimmer in a stable and safe position out of 
the reach of children. Keep the trimmer in a dry place where 
the temperature is not too hot or too cold.
• When storing the grass trimmer, do not rest it against the 
oor. Hang it by the upper handgrip so that the guard does 
not touch anything. If the guard rests against a surface, its 
shape and dimensions could be permanently altered, and 
could render the machine unsafe to use.
