Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Charging the battery
The battery needs to be charged before first use and
whenever it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs that were
easily done before. When charging the battery for the first
time, or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery
will attain full capacity. The battery may become warm while
charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Warning! Do not charge the battery at ambient temperatures
below 10 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
The tool can be left connected to the charger indefinitely.
To maximise the lifetime of the battery, it is recommended to
keep the battery connected to the charger whenever the tool
is not in use. When the battery is full, the power consumption
of the charger is negligible.
Charging with the wall mount (fig. F)
Place the tool on the wall mount (11).
u
Plug in the charger.

Charging with the charger plug (fig. G)
The charger plug is designed with lock outs to prevent the use
of an incorrect charger.

u
the rear of the tool.

Charging the battery

u
When the battery is charging the charging indicator (6)
flashes. The charging indicator will stop flashing when the
charging is complete. The charging indicator flashes quickly
to indicate a charging problem. When a charging problem
occurs, connect the tool directly to the charger plug by
removing the wall mount. If the charging problem still occurs,
the charger must be disconnected from the mains supply and
taken to an authorised service centre for repair.

Hints for optimum use
Spray the blade with a light coating of light general use oil
u
before first use and whenever the blades begin to look dry.
Trimming grass
In order to achieve optimum cutting results, only cut dry
u
grass.
Hold the tool as shown in fig. I. Keep your other hand well
u
away from the blade. Maintain a stable working position so
that you do not slip. Do not overreach.
When cutting long grass, work in stages from the top.
u
Take small cuts.
Keep the tool away from hard objects and delicate plants.
u
If the tool starts running slowly, reduce the load.
u
To make a closer cut, slightly tilt the tool.
