It will probably be dust on the bushes, ohh you said it was new it will be the bushes wearing in. If the smell is still there after a good use then it's faulty...

if its a cordless unit you are suppose to charge first before use
read instructions for time needed to charge.

try checking the hz, is it 50 or 60hz?
