end of the trimmer head (4).
Push the trimmer head (4) onto the handle (3).
u
Slide the collar (12) down and rotate it clockwise until it is

u
and take off the trimmer head (4).
Adjusting the trimmer head angle (fig. D)
The trimmer head pivots 180° and can be locked into
5 positions within that range.

the battery snaps into place.
To remove the battery, push the release button (11) while
u

Use
Warning! Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload.
Charging the battery (fig. A)
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 4 °C or above 40 °C. Recommended charging
temperature: approx. 24 °C.
To charge the battery (7), remove it from the tool and
u
insert it into the charger (8). The battery will only fit into
the charger in one way.
