CHARGE BATTERY PRIOR TO USE
– The line trimmer does not come fully
charged when purchased. Before using the unit, the battery must be charged.
Before charging the battery, read safety and charging instructions.
•
PROPER RUN TIME AND PERFORMANCE
can only be obtained with a fully
charged battery.
•
CHARGE TIME
– Overnight charging of about 16 hours is suffi cient to replenish
the battery to a full charge. Initial use, long periods of inactivity, or storage at
extreme temperatures may require extended charge time.
•
WALL CHARGE BRACKET
– Before charging the unit, make sure the charge
bracket is securely attached to the wall; attach with the provided screws to a wall
stud, or use #8 or larger wall anchors.
To Charge Battery:
1. Plug the charger into a 120 Volt AC outlet.
2. Place the line trimmer into the wall charge bracket.
3. Charge for at least 16 hours.
4. The LED on the plug-in-the-wall part of the charger glows red when the unit
is “charging” and green when it is fully charged and “ready to use.” For initial
charge the LED may not change to green until the battery is conditioned. This
may take several charge cycles.
Charging Notes:
•
CAUTION:
The charger can only be used with 60 cycle, 120 VAC only
electricity.
•
The charger unit plugged into the AC outlet will normally become warm to
touch during charging.
•
SAFE CHARGE
– The charger utilizes a two-step charger with end of charge
trickle maintenance, which is the safest way to charge a battery. The unit will not
overcharge and can be left on charge indefi nitely.
•
Longest life and best performance will be obtained when charging in normal
room temperature.
•
Battery life is dependent on usage, storage temperature and time.
Operating the Line Trimmer/Edger:
To turn tool ON,
slide the thumb switch on top of the handle FORWARD. While
holding thumb switch FORWARD, squeeze the trigger switch (under the handle)
to start the unit. See Figure-3 and Figure-4. You may release the thumb switch
once unit is running. Please note that the line trimmer contains two identical sets of
controls for ease of use in edging and trimming modes – only one set of controls is
necessary to operate the unit.
To turn tool OFF,
merely release the trigger. The locking safety switch will snap
backward to prevent the trigger switch from being accidentally depressed.
