CHARGING THE BATTERY

This lithium-ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before using it the first time, fully charge the 
battery pack. A fully discharged battery pack with a temperature between 0°C and 40°C will charge in 
about 1 hour.
Plug the charger adapter into power source. The green light on the charger stand will illuminate, indicating 
the charger is powered. 
Slide the battery all the way into the charger stand. The red light on the charger stand will illuminate, 
indicating that the battery is charging.
The red light will go off after charging is complete and a green light will appear.
 

NOTE: Batteries may become warm while charging. This is normal. If the battery is hot after continuous use in the 
tool, allow it to cool down to room temperature before charging. This will extend the life of your batteries.

changing accessories.

TRIMMING PROCEDURES

When properly equipped with a debris shield and string-head, your unit will trim unsightly weeds and tall grass 
in those hard-to-reach areas - along fences, walls, foundations and around trees. It can also be used for scalping 
to remove vegetation down to the ground for easier preparation of a garden or to clean out a particular area.
