WARNING: Mount the wall bracket
on a smooth, vertical and internal wall. The
wall chosen must be strong enough to hold
the weight of the bracket andthe unit. Choose
a location where the unit and wall bracket are
not likely to be disturbed by children or passersby.
IMPORTANT! Unplug the charger from the
electrical outlet before connecting or disconnecting the trimmer to the wall bracket.
1. Mount the wall bracket in a well ventilated
area between 40_F(5_C) and 78_F
(25_C).
2. There are three mounting holes on the
wall bracket. Position the wall bracket
with the two holes at the top.
Wall Bracket

the wall bracket, the bottom of the trimmer
is within 4 inches (100 mm) of the ground.
This will make it easier to hang the trimmer for charging and will also ensure that
the wall bracket is within easy reach of an
electrical outlet for plugging in the charger.
4. Mount wall bracket securely to the wall
with the anchors and screws provided.
CAUTION: When drilling holes, avoid elec-
trical wires in the wall and penetrating completely through the wall.

start the motor and allow it to reach full
speed.
S Repeat until you hear the line hitting against
the line limiter pin (do not repeat this proce-
dure more than 6 times).
If problems are experienced with the automatic line feed, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE.
