9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD
for the charger. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition.
Conductor size should be in accor-
dance with the chart below. The
amperage rating should be listed on
the motor or tool nameplate. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating. Your extension
cord must also contain a ground wire
and plug pin. Always repair or
replace extension cords if they

Never leave a battery unattend-
ed while charging. While charg-
ing will make the battery and
charging unit warm, if it
becomes hot to the touch, dis-
connect the charger immediate-
ly. There is a possibility of fire
hazard. Have the battery and
charging unit checked by a qual-
ified electrical service techni-
cian.
CHARGING SAFETY
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS and
warnings on the battery and charg-
er before charging the battery.
2. CHARGE ONLY USING THE SUP-
PLIED CHARGER AND BAT-
TERY. Do not use with other batter-
ies, chargers or cordless equip-
ment.
3. DO NOT EXPOSE BATTERY OR
CHARGER TO WET OR RAINY
CONDITIONS. Moisture greatly
increases the risk of a shock haz-
ard.
4. DO NOT TOUCH BATTERY
POLES with any conductive materi-
als.Touching any two poles at the
same time causes a short condition
and can cause sparks, electrical
shock or fire.
5. DO NOT STORE BATTERY WITH
CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS.
Storing the battery in a box of
screws or nails can cause shorting
across the battery poles.
6. DO NOT THROW BATTERY IN
FIRE. Combustion of some of the
batteries’ component materials can
cause toxic fumes and possible
explosion.
7. IF CHARGER LIGHT FAILS TO
COME ON check the incoming
power supply. If power source is
okay, then the fuse inside the
charger needs replacement.
Charger should be serviced by a
qualified electrical technician only.
8. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY
THE CHARGER PLUG. Modifying
the plug will result in a safety haz-
ard and will void the warranty.
9. CHARGER IS DESIGNED TO
OPERATE AT 110-120 VOLTS.
Never try to plug into any circuit that
is not 110-120 volts. Never modify
or change the plug that is attached
to the charger unit to attempt to
plug into 220 volt. This can cause
serious electrical damage to the
unit, possible fire or explosion.
BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED
OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
Consult your local Yellow Pages direc-
tory under the category “Recycling” to
locate a battery recycler in your area.

will come on when the battery begins
its charging cycle.

Operating Tips
Avoid overloading the trimmer by cutting
objects too large for the blades. A good
indication of motor stress is by listening to
the sound it makes. If the speed drops and
it sounds like the motor is struggling, it
probably is. Use common sense when
using this trimmer, and it will give you
many years of trouble-free service.
