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.
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.
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.

7. Use only the supplied charger (P/N
725-05031 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 725-05032 pack with
this product.
10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There
are no customer serviceable parts inside. If
damaged, call the Customer Support
Department.
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.
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

CHARGING BATTERY
The battery pack is not fully
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)
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.
4. Unplug charger. Remove the battery pack
by sliding out (See Figure 3).
5. Place the battery pack in the tool and be
certain that it is inserted fully into the tool
cavity until it “clicks” into place.

Figure 3 - Remove Charger

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
ENGLISH
1. After normal usage, your battery pack
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.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an
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).
3. While charging, the charger may hum 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,
call the Customer Service Department.
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

Line Advance Button
Figure 21 - Advancing trimmer/edger line
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.
REPLACING TRIMMER/EDGER
LINE
WARNING:
To prevent serious personal injury, never use metal-reinforced
line, wire, or rope, etc. These can
break off and become a dangerous projectile.

housing, replace spring into center of spool
housing. Note: If installing replacement
spool and line (P/N 731-07483), 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 24).
