OPERATION
If after a period of 15 minutes the yellow and green
lights remain on, remove the battery pack, wait
1 minute and reinsert battery pack in charger. If the
yellow and green lights continue to remain on an
additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged
and will not accept charge.
When your battery pack becomes fully charged,
■
the red light will turn off and the green light will
turn on. After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is
required to be fully charged. A minimum charge time
of 1 to 1-1/ 2 hours is required to recharge a
completely discharged battery pack. The battery pack
will become slightly warm to the touch while charging.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
DO NOT place charger in an area of extreme heat
■
or cold. It will work best at normal room temperature.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING HOT
BATTERY PACK
When using your line trimmer continuously,
the batteries in your battery pack will become hot.
You should let a hot battery pack cool down for
approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of
your line trimmer causes the batteries to become hot.
It does not occur under normal circumstances. If battery
pack is below normal temperature range, the green LED
on charger will come on. Allow battery pack to reach
normal temperature, then the red LED will come on.
INSTALL BATTERY PACK
Place the battery pack in the line trimmer.
■
Align raised rib on battery pack with groove in line
trimmer. See Figure 7.
Make sure the latches on the battery pack snap in
■
place and that battery pack is secured in line trimmer
before beginning operation.
REMOVE BATTERY PACK
Locate latches of battery pack and depress both
■
sides to release the battery pack from the line
trimmer. See Figure 7.
Remove battery pack from the line trimmer.
■
CAUTION
When placing battery pack in your line trimmer,
be sure raised rib on battery pack aligns with
groove in line trimmer and latches snap in place
properly. Improper assembly of battery pack can
cause damage to internal components.

WARNING
Dress properly to reduce the risk of injury when
operating this unit. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Wear eye protection. Wear heavy, long
pants, boots and well fitting gloves. Do not wear
short pants, sandals or go barefoot.
Hold the line trimmer as shown. See Figure 9.
■
Right arm is slightly bent, the right hand holding the
rear handle. Left arm is straight, the left hand holding
the front handle. The unit should be slightly below
waist level.
The string head on your line trimmer should be
■
parallel to the ground and should easily contact the
material being cut without the operator having to
bend over. A simple shaft adjustment accommodates
most user's heights.
USING THE LINE TRIMMER
ADVANCING LINE
Your line trimmer is equipped with a string head,
which allows the operator to release more cutting line
without stopping the motor. As the line becomes worn or
frayed, additional line can be released by lightly tapping
the string head on the ground while operating the line
trimmer at full throttle. See Figure 10. For best results,
tap the head on bare ground or hard soil. If line release is
attempted in tall grass, the motor may overheat.
Approximately 25.4 mm (1 inch) of cutting line is released
each time the head is tapped on the ground.
Always keep the cutting line fully extended. If the string is
worn too short you may not be able to advance the string
by tapping the head on the ground. If this occurs, stop
the motor, remove the spool as described in the following
section, feed the cutting line through the opening in spool
housing and reassemble the spool to the string head.
