RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
PROTECTIVE BATTERY
TERMINAL CAP
WARNING
Do not store or carry battery so
that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place battery
in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc.
with loose nails, screws, keys,
jewelry etc. without battery
cap. The battery or conductor
may overheat and case burns
A protective battery terminal cap is provided
for use whenever the battery is out of the tool
or charger. Remove cap before placing battery
in charger or tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. This manual contains important safety
and opertaing instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
battery charger, battery pack, and product
using battery pack.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-wire
or 3-wire extension cords. Only round
jacketed extension cords should be used,
and we recommend that they be listed by
Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.). If the
extension is to be used outside, the cord
must be suitable for outdoor use. Any cord
marked for outdoor use can also be used
for indoor work. The letters “W” or “WA”
on the cord jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate wire
size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for
safety, and to prevent loss of power and
overheating. The smaller the gauge number
of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable; that is, 16 gauge has more capacity
than 18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length, be
sure each extension contains at least the
minimum wire size.
CHART FOR MINIMUM WIRE SIZE (AWG)
OF EXTENSION CORDS NAMEPLATE
RATING AMPS – 0 – 10.0
12. A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack cells may occur under extreme
usage, charging, or temperature conditions. This does not indicate a failure.
However, if the outer seal is broken and
this leakage gets on your skin:
• Wash quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
• If the battery liquid gets in your eyes,
fl ush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
13. DO NOT open or mutilate the batteries.
Released electolyte is corrosive and may
cause damage to the eyes and skit. It may
be toxic if swallowed.
MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is
a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only Remington brand
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Remington brand may result
in a risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury
to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, pull by plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
6. An extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in
a risk of fi re, electric shock or electrocution.

7. Use only the supplied charger (P/N
121397-01)when charging. The use of
any other charger could damage the battery or create a hazardous condition.
8. Use only one charger when charging.
9. Use only Remington RB18V1 or
RBE18V1 battery packs with this product.
10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There
are no customer serviceable parts inside.
If damaged, call DESA Power Tools
Technical Service.
11. DO NOT incinerate the battery pack
even if they are severely damaged or
completely worn out. The batteries can
explode in a fi re.

charged at the factory. Before
attempting to charge the battery pack, thoroughly read all
Safety Instructions.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power
1. Plug cord from charger into charger base.
(See Figure 1)
Figure 1 - Plug Charger into Base
2. Plug the charger into any standard 120
Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet. Important:
Do not charge by means of an engine
generator or DC power source. Use only
120V AC.
3. Slide the charger onto the battery pack as
shown in Figure 2. The LED will light up,
Let the battery pack charge until red LED
turns off. After the initial charge, under
normal usage, your battery pack should
be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours.

should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours. If
the battery pack is run-down completely,
it may take up to 9 hours to become fully
charged. Your battery pack was sent from
the factory in an uncharged condition.
For best performance charge battery until
red LED turns off. Allow the battery to
cool down 30 minutes before charging
after using the trimmer/edger. NOTE: A
hot battery placed in the charger will not
charge.
air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or
above 105°F (40,5 °C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack. Longest life and best performance can be obtained if battery pack
is charged when air temperature is about
75°F (24°C).
and become warm to touch. This is a
normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly
• Check current at receptacle by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance.
• Check to see if receptacle is connected
to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.
• Move charger and battery pack to a
surrounding air temperature of 40°F
(4,5°C) to 105°F (40,5 °C)
• If the receptacle and temperature are
OK, and you do not get proper charging
contact DESA Power Tools.
5. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce suffi cient power
on jobs which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE using
product with its battery pack in a depleted
condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving
the battery pack on charger for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without
use). Although overcharging is not a
safety concern, it can signifi cantly reduce
overall battery life.
7. The battery pack will reach optimum
performance after being cycled 5 times
during normal usage. There is no need to
run the batteries down completely before
recharging. Normal usage is the best
method of discharging and recharging the
batteries.

ADVANCING TRIMMER LINE
WARNING:
Blade is sharp. To prevent
serious injury, do not touch
blade.
To advance new trimmer/edger line, tap the
line advance button on the ground while the
trimmer/edger is running (See Figure 21. The
blade attached to the cutting guard will cut the
line to the proper length.
Follow the precautions below to ensure top
line performance.
• Do not hold the line advance button on the
ground. This will allow trimmer/edger line
to constantly feed off the spool.
• Tap the line advance button only once to
advance line. If more line is needed, wait
a few seconds and tap again.
• Be sure to advance the line as it wears
down. If you wait too long to advance new
line, the existing line will wear down too
short and can retract into the spool. If this
happens, remove the spool and reroute the
line out of the spool. Reinstall the spool to
the spool housing.

To prevent serious personal
injury, never use metal-reinforced line, wire, or rope,
etc. These can break off
and become a dangerous
projectile.

housing. Note: If installing replacement
spool and line (P/N BRS65A), skip to step
8. Remove and discard any remaining line
in the spool.
3. Clean grass and other debris from the
spool and spool housing using a brush
(See Figure 23).
