See Figure 14, page iv
A *o**'tc'
r lf any part of the charger is missing or
damaged, do not operate it! Replace the
charger with a new one. Failure to heed this
warning could result in possible serious injury.
r Check the voltage! The voltage must
comply with the information on the rating
label.
BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE
r Align one of the battery packs to the slots
on the charger and slide it in until it locks in
place.
r Connect the charger to the power supply.
r Allow sufficient charging time (see Product
Specifications), and then disconnect the
charger from the power supply.
r Press the release button on the battery
pack and remove it from the charger.
NOTE: lt is normal for the battery pack and
charger to become warm (but not hot) during
charging process. lf the battery does not
charge properly, check to make sure the
electrical outlet is "live".
Always charge the battery before storage!
A *O**t*C, To reduce the risk of fire,
never leave either battery connected to the
charger for more than 24 hours!
r Do not use other battery chargers. The
battery charger supplied is specifically
designed for the Lithium-lon Battery used in
this garden appliance.
I Check the main power supply! The voltage
of the power supply must correspond with the
data on the nameplate of the battery charger.
Battery chargers operate on 100-240V.
NOTE: The battery is supplied partially
charged. To ensure full capacity of the
battery, charge the battery in the charger
before using the product for the first time.
The Lithium-lon battery can be charged at
any time without reducing its service life.
lnterrupting the charging procedure does not
affect the battery.
CHARGER INDICATORS
r Preparation: The charging process starts
as soon as the battery charger is plugged
into a power supply socket and the battery is
inserted into the charger.
r lf a battery is not inserted, a continuous
green light indicates that the charger is
plugged into a power supply socket and is
now ready to begin charging.
r Charging: a continuous red light on the
charger indicates that the battery is charging
normally.
r Gharged: continuous green LED on the
charger indicates that the battery is ready for
use.
I The indicator lights on the charger show
the charger status:
r The intelligent charger ensures maximum
battery life, because it measures the existing
charge level of the battery and then charges
with the required current and voltage. Charge
the battery fully before storage.
r After continuous or repeated charging
cycles without interruption, the charger
surface may become noticeably warm. This
is normal and does not indicate a technical
defect of the battery charger.
r Green LED and Red LED flashing
alternately indicates that the battery voltage
is low, and that charging will only continue for
about another 30 minutes.
A *or*,*O, To avoid risk of fire,
electric shock, or electrocution:

and adjust to any of the 7 positions.
r Adjust the angle of the spool head
according to the intended operation.
r Adjust to desired position:Adjust to 135'

OPERATING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 26, page vii
Follow these tips when using the line
trimmer:
r Hold the trimmer with your right hand on
the rear handle and your left hand on the
front handle.
r Keep a firm grip with both hands while in
operation.
r Trimmer should be held at a comfortable
position with rear handle about hip height.
r Cut tall grass from the top down. This will
prevent grass from wrapping around the shaft
and spool head which may cause damage
from overheating.
lf grass becomes wrapped around the
spool head:
r Remove the battery pack from the trimmer.
r Remove the grass.
A *ot*,*Ot Always hold the line
trimmer away from the body keeping
clearance between the body and the line
trimmer. Any contact with the line trimmer
cutting head while operating can result in
serious personal injury.
EDGING
To use the trimmer for edging (see Fig. 32)
rotate the handle to the 90" or 180" position
(see Fig. 23 inset).
12 - English 13 - English

CUTTING TIPS
See Figure 27, page vii
r Keep the trimmer tilted toward the area
being cut; this is the optimal position for
trimming.
r Swing the trimmer from right to left when
cutting (Fig. 27). This will avoid throwing
debris at the operator.
r Use the tip of the line to do the cutting; do
not force spool head into uncut grass.
r Wire and picket fences cause extra line
wear, even breakage. Stone and brick walls,
curbs, and wood may wear line rapidly.
r Avoid trees and shrubs. Tree bark, wood
moldings, siding, and fence posts can easily
be damaged by the line.
TRIMMING
See Figures 28-30, page vii; Figures 31-32,
page viii
r Do not cut wet grass because it tends to
stick to the cutting head and guard, prevents
proper discharge of grass clippings, and
could cause you to slip and fall.
r Wait untilthe product has come to a
standsfill before placing it down.
r Regularly remove clippings and dirt around
the spool head with a switched off product.
r Pay attention when performing work close
to trees and bushes. The cutting line can
damage sensitive bark, and damage fence
posts.
r Work rhythmically. Stand firmly with
your feet apart. Cut from right to left so the
trimmings will be thrown away from the work
area.
r Do not move the product too fast as this
will result in ineffective cutting and possible
damage.
r Cut repeatedly from top to bottom in layers
when the grass is very high. ( Figs. 28-29)
r Keep the spool head at an angle of about
30" to the ground when trimming. Avoid
pressing it against the ground as this can ruin
the lawn and damage the product. (Fig. 30)
NOTE: Let the cutting device do the work. Let
it work at its own pace, never force it into the
area to be cut.
r Carefully maneuver the product around
objects, such as trees and bushes, ensuring
it does not come into contact with them. Use
the Flower Guard to ensure that the cutting
line does not come into contact with sensitive
plants. (Fig. 31)
r Adjust the spool head angle when trimming
on edges.
r Use the Flower Guard to avoid bringing
the cutting line into contact with hard objects
such as walls and curbs. (Fig. 32)
A *or*trc, when servicing, use onty
identical replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
A *o**,*c, Atways wear eye
protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI 287.1, along with hearing
protection. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting
in possible serious injury.
A *or*,*o, To avoid serious personal
injury, always remove the battery pack from
the toolwhen cleaning or performing any
maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are subceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
A *or*,*c, Do not at any time tet
brake fl uids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc., come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which can
result in serious personal injury.
BATTERY PACK
r Store the battery pack fully charged.
r Recharge the battery pack whenever
there is a noticeable reduction in trimmer
performance. Do not allow the battery pack to
become completely discharged.
r Do not recharge a battery pack that is
already fully charged. Overcharging shortens
battery life.
r Once the battery pack is fully charged,
remove the battery from the charger and
disconnect the charger from the outlet.
r Do not store either battery pack on the tool
or in the charger.
r Recharge battery at a temperature between
39.2'F and 104'F. lf a battery pack is hot,
allow it to cool down before recharging.
CHARGER MAINTENANCE
r Keep the charger clean and clear of debris.
Do not allow foreign material to get into the
recessed cavity or onto the contacts. Wipe
the charger clean with a dry cloth. Do not
use solvents or water, and do not place the
charger in wet conditions.
r Unplug the charger when there is no
battery pack in it.
r Store the charger at normal room
temperature. Do not store it in excessive
heat. Do not use the charger in direct
sunlight.
CLEANING
Remove The Battery Pack.
r Brush or blow dust and debris out of the air
vents using compressed air or a vacuum.
r Keep the air vents free of obstructions,
sawdust, and wood chips. Do not spray,
wash, or immerse the air vents in water.
r Wipe off the housing and the plastic
components using a moist, soft cloth.
r Do not use strong solvents or detergents
on the plastic housing or plastic components.
Certain household cleaners may cause
damage, and may cause a shock hazard.
