CHARGER MAINTENANCE
•
Keep the charger clean and clear of debris.
Do not allow foreign material to get into the
recessed cavity or onto the contacts. Wipe
the charger clean with a dry cloth. Do not
use solvents or water, and do not place the
charger in wet conditions.
•
Unplug the charger when there is no
battery pack in it.
•
Fully charge the batteries before placing
them in storage.
•
Store the charger at normal room
temperature. Do not store it in excessive
heat. Do not use the charger in direct
sunlight. Recharge at temperatures
between 32°F and 104°F (0-40°C). If
battery pack is hot, allow it to cool down
before recharging.
BATTERY PACK
•
Store the battery pack fully charged.
•
Once the charging light turns green,
remove the battery from the charger and
disconnect the charger from the outlet.
•
After charging, the battery pack may be
stored on the charger, as long as the
charger is not plugged in.
CUTTING LINE
• Use only .080" (2mm) diameter cutting
line. Other sizes will not advance properly
and could result in failure, or cause serious
injury.
•
Always wind the line in the same direction
as the arrow on the spool.
CLEANING
1. Wipe the outside of the string trimmer
with a dry, soft cloth. Do not hose down
or wash with water.
2. Scrape the guard and spool area to
remove dried clippings and mud.
3. Brush or blow dust, debris, and grass
clippings out of the air vents. Keep them
free of obstruction.
CAUTION:
Do not use strong solvents or
detergents on the plastic housing or plastic
components. Certain household cleaners
may cause damage and may also cause a
shock hazard.
