Frequently asked questions
Question Answer
Will the battery be exhausted
after a long period of disuse?
When the appliance is not used for
6 months or more, the battery will
weaken (leak battery fluid, etc.).
Fully charge the battery once
every 6 months.
Can the battery be charged
before every use?
Yes, but it is recommended that
you charge the battery when it is
empty. The life of the battery will
vary depending upon usage and
storage conditions.
Blade life
Blade life varies according to the frequency and period of use of the
trimmer.
For example, the blade life is approximately 3 years when using the
trimmer for 5 minutes 20 times a month. Replace the blades if cutting
efficiency reduces substantially especially with proper maintenance.

15
English
Battery life
Battery life will vary according to the frequency and period of use. If the
battery is charged once every 2 weeks, the service life will be
