FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND SERIOUS
INJURY.
1. Do not expose charger to wet or moist
environments.
2. Use only the charger included or one recommended specifi cally by Remington.
3. Use only standard 120V 60Hz power to
charge.
4. Use only one charger when charging.
5. Do not charge other tools with the charger.

charged at the factory. Before
attempting to charge the battery, thoroughly read all Safety
Instructions.
Note: The battery is designed to
use household 120 Volt, 60 HZ
power to charge.
The charger is designed to use standard house-
hold 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug charger into shears. (See Figure 1)
2. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt

times. Keep hand away from blades.
Wear eye protection and rubber
gloves when operating tool.

twigs.

up the cutting speed. Feed slower if blades
slow down.
3. Do NOT force blade into ground. It is
designed for clipping grass, weeds, dry
fl owers and small twigs. It is not design
for edging.
4. Watch out for and avoid foreign objects
during use.
5. This unit should NOT be used for large trees
and hedges with limbs in excess of 5/16th
inch in diameter
6. While using the shears, a forward motion
away from the body will allow for the greatest amount of clipping per charge.

the blade. Remove any debris and wipe blade
with damp cloth. After the blade has dried, use
a rag to apply a thin fi lm of engine oil across
the blade surface. The tool does not require
any other lubrication.

PARTS
Use a cloth dampened with warm water and mild
soap to clean plastic parts.
NOTE: water or liquid inside the tool can cause serious damage to the unit.
