Servicing battery tools
There doesn't seem to be any manufacturer info available with regards what servicing if any is needed for battery tools, not that i can find anyway.When i say tools, i mean things like the motor end of long reach hedge trimmers, and Kombi motor units like the Stihl KMA 135R, which i have.I've had it about a year now and I've noticed it's got a little louder and doesn't feel as smooth anymore, like something needs greasing!Any thoughts, experience would be appreciated.Thanks, Anthony
