• IMPORTANT ! Switch charger off at the wall socket be-
fore connecting or disconnecting the trimmer to the wall
bracket.
1. It is recommended that the wall bracket
(F2)
should be
mounted on a smooth, vertical and internal wall which is
strong enough to hold the weight of the product, in a well
ventilated area between 5°C and 25°C.
2. There are 3 holes on the wall bracket. Position the wall
bracket with the two holes at the top.
See Fig G.
3. Ensure that when the trimmer is attached the bottom of the
trimmer is within 4 inches (100 mm) of the ground, this will
make it easier to hang the trimmer and will also ensure that
the wall bracket is within easy reach of an electric socket to
allow the charger to be plugged in.
4. Fix wall bracket securely to the wall with the plugs and
screws provided.
5. Your cordless trimmer can now be attached to the wall
bracket for charging.
Initial Charging Procedure
1. Use the charger indoors only.
2. Ensure the charger is not exposed to moisture. Keep
the charger and the trimmer dry at all times. Keep the
charger well ventilated during charging.
3. Ensure the trimmer is correctly located into the wall
bracket
(F2)
and the charge connector
(G1)
.
4. Plug the charger
(F1)
into a suitable household electrical
wall socket and switch on.
5. The red indicator lamps
(F3, F4)
glow continuously
during charging.
• The red indicator lamp on the product (F3) is a power
indicator and will continue to glow red even when the
battery is fully charged.
6. Full charge will be achieved in 24 hours after which the in-
dicator lamp on the charger
(F4)
will turn to green. During
charging the charger becomes warm. This is normal and
means the charger is operating correctly.
Re-Charging Your Cordless Trimmer
1. Re-charge the battery as soon as the cutting power of
your cordless trimmer begins to die and slow down.
2. Avoid running the cordless trimmer into "deep" discharge,
i.e. avoid flattening the battery completely.
3. Follow the procedure outlined in the
Initial Charging
Procedure.
4. Charging the battery according to these instructions should
ensure maximum battery life.
• The charger will automatically keep the battery
topped up with charge during storage and will ensure
that the cordless trimmer is ready for use.

Auto Line Feed System
H
How the automatic line feed works (H)
1. When initially switching on the trimmer, a small length
of line is fed out.
2. A ʻclatteringʼ noise will be heard when the nylon line hits
the line cutter.
DO NOT BE ALARMED this is quite
normal.
After approximately 5 seconds the line will be cut
to the correct length and the noise will reduce as the
motor reaches full speed.
• Make sure the motor is up to full speed before
trimming or edging.
3. If the noise of the nylon line being cut cannot be heard,
more line will need to be fed out.
4. To feed more line, it is first necessary to to allow the
motor to stop completely, then re-start, allowing the
motor to reach full speed.
5. Repeat step 4. until you hear the line hitting against the
cutter. (Do not repeat this procedure more than 6 times)
6. If problems are experienced with the automatic line
feed refer to Fault Finding Chart.
