This is important and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack.
The charger and battery pack may become warm to the
u
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or
battery pack in a warm environment such as in a metal
shed or an uninsulated trailer.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
u
Check operation of receptacle by plugging in a lamp
u
or other appliance;
Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light
u
switch which turns power off when you turn out
the lights;
Move the charger and battery pack to a location
u
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 18 ° – 24 °C;
If charging problems persist, take the tool, battery
u
pack and charger to your local service center.
The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
u
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
u
not limited to, grinding dust, metal chips, steel wool,
aluminum foil, or any buildup of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger cavities. Unplug the
charger before attempting to clean.
Do not freeze or immerse the charger in water or any
u
other liquid.
Fitting and removing the battery (fig. C)
To fit the battery (18), line it up with the receptacle on the
u
tool. Slide the battery into the receptacle and push until
the battery snaps into place.
To remove the battery, push the battery release button
u
(18a) while at the same time pulling the battery out of the
receptacle.
Installing and Removing Attachments (fig. D, E)
To fit an attachment or the extension pole to the base unit
u
(1), align the attachment/pole base with the power head
as shown in figure D and E.
Firmly push the attachment or extension pole onto the
u
base unit until it snaps into place and an audible click is heard.
Note: Attachments fit onto the extension pole in the same
manner as the base unit.
Ensure attachment is securely attached to the base unit or
u
extension pole by gently pulling it away. The attachment or
the extension pole should remain in place.
(Original instructions)
To remove an attachment or extension pole, depress
u
the release button (7), (14) or (12) located on the side of
the attachment or extension pole and pull attachment or
extension pole away from the base unit or extension pole.
Note: Only use attachments that are specifically designed for
and are compatible with the power head.
Correct hand position (fig. F, G)
Base mode, proper hand position requires the left hand on the
bail handle (3), with the right hand on the main handle (2).
Pole mode, operate with the right hand on the main handle (2)
and the left hand on the Pole grip (11).
Switching on
Push the lock off switch (5) down. Squeeze the bail handle
u

unit is running, you may release the lock off switch. The
more the ON/OFF is depressed, the higher the speed of
the base unit.
In order to keep the unit running you must continue to
u
squeeze both the bail handle and the ON/OFF. To turn the
unit off, release the ON/OFF switch or bail handle.

u
and then squeeze the ON/OFF switch (2).
Once the unit is running, you may release the lock off
u

the speed of the base unit.
In order to keep the unit running you must continue to
u
squeeze the ON/OFF switch. To turn the unit off, release
the ON/OFF switch.
Trimming Instructions (fig.F, G, H, I, J)
Note: keep hands away from blades. Blade may coast after
turn off.
Working positions (fig F, G)
Maintain proper footing and balance and do not overreach.
Wear safety goggles, non-skid footwear when trimming. Hold
the unit firmly in both hands and turn the unit on. Always hold
the trimmer as shown in Figures F, and G, with one hand on
the main handle (3) and one hand on the bail handle (4) or
Pole grip (11). Never hold the unit by the guard (9) or hedge
trimmer blade (8).
Trimming new growth (fig H)
Using a wide, sweeping motion, feeding the blade teeth
through the twigs, is most effective. A slight downward tilt of
the blade in the direction of motion gives the best cutting.
Level hedges (fig I)
To obtain exceptionally level hedges a piece of string can be
stretched along the length of the hedge as a guide.
