Grounding (Fig. A)

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electric current, and reduces
the risk of electric shock.
This battery charger is double insulated and has atwo-prong polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. DO NOT change the plug in any way. IN ALL cases make sure the
outlet is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a certified electrician check the power outlet.

Extension Cords (Fig. B)

Do not use an extension cord for the charger unless absolutely necessary. If you use an extension cord make sure the
cord is in good condition.
Use one heavy enough to carry the current your charger will draw. An under sized extension cord will cause a dropin line
voltage resulting in loss of power and over heating.The table below shows the correct size of extension cordto use,
depending on cord length and the charger's ampere rating listed on the nameplate. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number is, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged cord or have it repaired
by a qualified electrician. Protect your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electric circuit for your tools. Never use any other voltage or power source than common household 120 V
electrical power. The circuit must not beless than a #12 wire and should be protected with a 15 Atime lag fuse. Before
connecting the charger to the power line, make sure the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the
charger nameplate.To reduce the risk of disconnection of charger cordfrom the extension cord during operation make a
knot(Fig. B).

Fig. 8

Trimmer Tips

Before each use

• Make sure the protective guard is tightly installed.Tighten the guard screw.

• Make sure the battery is fully charged and that the charger is disconnected before using or storing the trimmer.

• Do not store the grass trimmer in sunlight, in an excessively warm place, or near a furnace. The battery life will be
shortened.

• If the battery must be stored in a warm place, charge it frequently.

• Before trimming, inspect the area for string, wire, branches or other material that may become entangled in the
cutting line and thrown.

During use

• Trim only when the grass and weeds are dry.

• Do not trim grass at night. Always make sure you have adequate lighting.

• Hold the grass trimmer by both the switch handle and the auxiliary handle for best control and balance.

• Stand with the cutting head tipped down at an angle in front, guiding the grass trimmer in a semicircular
motion around you.

• If possible, guide the grass trimmer to the left to cut.The line will cut as soon as it leaves the guard, and the
clippings are thrown away from you.

• To produce a smoothly trimmed area, move the grass trimmer in and out of the area being cut with consistent
speed and height.

• Use only the tip of the cutting line to do the trimming, especially near walls and fences. Trimming with the side of
the cutting line may over load the motor, wear out the line faster, and break the line more often.

• Do not rest the trimmer spool on the ground while trimming. This will cause spool wear and battery drain.

• If the grass is higher than 6” (15 cm), trim in small stages.

• When the grass trimmer is turned off and the spool stop srotating, the cutting line will relax and may recede. Feed
extra cutting line before storing the trimmer to prevent losing the line completely into the spool.

• If the diameter of the cutting area gets smaller, the line is worn down and needs to be advanced more often.

• If the grass trimmer is not cutting correctly, the cutting line may not be feeding properly. Remove and rewind the
line spool.
