THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR
BATTERY CHARGER.
1.
Before using the charger read all instructions and cautionary markings on the charger, battery pack and the product using the
battery pack.
2.
This charger is not intended for any uses other than charging rechargeable batteries. Any other use may result in risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
3.
Do not place any object on top of the charger or place the charger on a soft surface that may result in excessive internal heat.
Place the charger in a position away from any heat source.
4.
To reduce risk of damage to the electric plug and cord, pull by the plug rather than the cord when disconnecting the charger.
5.
Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
6.
An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could result in the risk of fire,
electric shock or electrocution.
7.
Do not operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Have it checked by an
electrician or power tool repairer.
8.
Do not disassemble charger. Take it to an electrician or power tool repairer when service or repair is required. Incorrect reas-
sembly may result in a risk of electric shock, electrocution or fire.
9.
To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the charger from the outlet before attempting any cleaning. Removing the battery pack
will not reduce this risk.
10.
Never attempt to connect 2 chargers together.
11.
DO NOT store or use the tool and battery pack in locations where the temperature may reach or exceed 40ºC (such as inside sheds or
metal buildings in summer).
12.
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical power (240 volts). Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage!
13.
The battery pack is not fully charged out of the carton. First read the safety instructions and then follow the charging notes and
procedures.
14.
The longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is between 18 -
24ºC. Do not charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 10ºC or above 40ºC. This is important and will prevent damage
to the battery pack.
15.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously damaged or is completely worn out. The battery can explode in a fire.
16.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack breaks or cracks, immediately
discontinue use and do not recharge.
17.
During charging, the battery must be placed in a well ventilated area.

Sharpening the cutting blade
1. Start and stop your trimmer
until the cutter blade and the
guard are slightly offset.

your trimmer/shear.
3. Clamp the blade assembly in a
vise and file the exposed cutting surface of each blade tooth. Remove as
little material as possible.

the vise and insert the battery pack. Repeat
steps 1-3 for the unsharpened edges of the
blade teeth.
