Use the exact manual

Control energy before service

Remove the battery, disconnect the plug, disable ignition or follow the required fuel and energy-isolation procedure before reaching cutting, drive or hydraulic systems.

Inspect while cleaning

Look for loose fasteners, cracks, leaks, heat damage, worn guards, damaged cords, poor contacts, dull cutting systems and missing labels.

Keep a parts record

Record filters, plugs, chain, line, belts, blades, batteries, chargers and other consumables by exact part number. Save receipts and service dates.
