REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET
To remove blade set from your trimmer, remove from charger base or
unplug from power cord. Hold the trimmer so that the blade teeth are
pointing up. Using a Phillips-head type screwdriver, unscrew the two
blade screws (Figure I).
Carefully remove the lower and upper blade, along with the blade
yoke. Slide the spring bracket assembly off the metal blade bracket
(Figure J).
To replace blades, slide new spring bracket assembly over metal
bracket (Figure J). Replace upper blades and blade yoke, making sure
center of yoke lines up between spring arms, and motor cam fits into
yoke center slot. Replace lower blade, ensuring the T-guide is aligned
properly to the upper blade. Make sure all holes align (Figure K) and
tighten two blade screws (Figure I).
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your trimmer does not develop a
“memory effect” like a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium
(NiCd) battery. You can return the trimmer to the charger at any time for
a full charge, or even use the battery before a charge cycle is complete.
Like most rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when
used frequently.
2. For maximum battery life, store the trimmer in a partially discharged
condition if the unit will be unused for several months. To discharge the
battery, run the trimmer under normal conditions. Battery should be
recharged again before re-use.
3. Avoid locating the trimmer near heat vents, radiators, or in direct
sunlight. Optimum charging will result where the temperature is stable.
Sudden increases in temperature can result in the battery receiving less
than a full charge.
4. Many factors influence lithium-ion battery life. A battery that has
received heavy use or is more than a year old may not give the same
run-time performance as a new battery pack.
5. New lithium-ion batteries, unused for a period of time, may not accept a
full charge. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the
battery or charger. The battery will accept a full charge after several
cycles of trimmer use and recharging.
6. Disconnect the charger or the trimmer from the AC outlet if extended
periods of non-use are anticipated.
