CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this unit has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it prior to use.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (trimming followed
by recharging) for them to fully charge.
TO CHARGE
Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
Q
Make sure power supply is normal household voltage,
Q
230 volts, 50 Hz, AC only.
Connect charger to power supply.
Q
Place battery pack in charger. Align raised rib on
Q
battery pack with groove in charger.
When charger is properly connected, red light will
Q
turn on. Press down on battery pack to be sure
contacts on battery pack engage properly with
contacts in charger.
Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger
Q
will come on. This indicates charger is in control
charge mode and should switch to fast charge mode
within 5 minutes. When charger is in fast charge
mode the yellow and green lights will go off and the
red light will come on.
If after a period of 15 minutes the yellow and green
lights remain on, remove the battery pack, wait
1 minute and reinsert battery pack in charger. If the
yellow and green lights continue to remain on an
additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged
and will not accept charge.
When your battery pack becomes fully charged,
Q
the red light will turn off and the green light will
turn on. After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time
is required to be fully charged. A minimum charge
time of 1 to 1-1/ 2 hours is required to recharge a
completely discharged battery pack. The battery pack
will become slightly warm to the touch while charging.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat
Q
or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERY PACK
W h e n u s i n g y o u r l i n e t r i m m e r c o n t i n u o u s l y,
the batteries in your battery pack will become hot.
You should let a hot battery pack cool down for
approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use
of your line trimmer causes the batteries to become hot.
It does not occur under normal circumstances. If battery
pack is below normal temperature range, the green LED
on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to reach
normal temperature, then the red LED will come on.

INSTALL BATTERY PACK
Place the battery pack in the string trimmer.
Q
Align raised rib on battery pack with groove in string
trimmer. See Figure 2.
Make sure the latches on the battery pack snap
Q
in place and that battery pack is secured in string
trimmer before beginning operation.
REMOVE BATTERY PACK
Locate latches of battery pack and depress both sides
Q
to release the battery pack from the string trimmer.
See Figure 2.
Remove battery pack from the string trimmer.
Q
CAUTION
When placing battery pack in your string trimmer,
be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with
groove in string trimmer and latches snap in
place properly. Improper assembly of battery
pack can cause damage to internal components.
STARTING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Remove the blade cover.
Q
For added safety, there is a sensor switch in the
Q
upper handle. See Fig. 3. When operating, hold the
trimmer with both hands, one hand to push the trigger
lock button forward, and the other hand to squeeze
the front handle.
Release the trigger lock button and continue to
Q
squeeze the trigger for extended operation.
STOPPING THE HEDGE TRIMMER
Release the trigger to stop the hedge trimmer.
Q
Upon release of the trigger, the trigger lock button will
Q
be automatically reset to the lock position.
OPERATING TIPS
Do not force the hedge trimmer through heavy
Q
shrubbery. This can cause the blades to bind and
slow down. If the blades slow down, reduce the pace.
Do not try to cut stems or twigs that are larger than
Q
10 mm thick, or those obviously too large to feed into
the cutting blade. Use a non-powered hand saw or
pruning saw to trim large stems.
If desired, you can use a string to help cut your hedge
Q
level. Decide how high you want the hedge. Then,
stretch a piece of string along the hedge at this height.
Trim the hedge just above this guide line of string.
See Figure 4. Trim the side of a hedge so that it will be
slightly narrower at the top. See Figure 5. More of the
hedge will be exposed when shaped this way, and it will
be more uniform. If blades do become jammed, stop the
motor, allow the blades to stop and remove the battery
pack before attempting to remove the obstruction.
Wear gloves when trimming thorny or prickly growth.
Q
When trimming new growth, use a wide sweeping
