In order to avoid personal injury and the risk of re and electric shock, remove the battery pack

before adjusting, inspecting, or cleaning the hedge trimmer.

Cleaning

Remove the battery pack.

1. Wipe the outside of the hedge trimmer with a dry, soft cloth. Do not hose down or wash with

water.

2. Scrape the guard to remove dried clippings and mud.

3. Brush or blow dust, debris, and grass clippings out of the air vents. Keep them free of obstruc-

tion.

Battery Pack

• Store the battery pack fully charged.

• Recharge the battery pack whenever there is less power. Do not allow the battery pack to be-

come completely discharged.

• Do not recharge a battery pack that is already fully charged. Overcharging shortens battery life.

• Once the charging light turns green, remove the battery from the charger and disconnect the

charger from the outlet.

• Do not store the battery pack on the tool or in the charger.

• Recharge the battery at a temperature of between 32 and 104˚F (0 and 40˚C). If the battery

pack is hot, allow it to cool down before recharging.

• After charging, the battery pack may be stored in the charger, as long as the charger is not

plugged in.

Charger Maintenance

• Keep the charger clean and clear of debris. Do not allow foreign material to get into the re-

cessed cavity or onto the contacts. Wipe the charger clean with a dry cloth. Do not use sol-

vents or water, and do not place the charger in wet conditions.

• Unplug the charger when there is no battery pack in it.

• Fully charge the batteries before placing them in storage. Do not recharge a fully charged bat-

tery pack.

• Overcharging will shorten battery life.

• Recharge the battery pack whenever there is less power. Do not allow the batteries to become

completely discharged.

• Store the charger at normal room temperature. Do not store it in excessive heat. Do not use

the charger in direct sunlight. Recharge at room temperature between 50 and 104˚F (10 and

40˚C). If the battery pack is hot, allow it to cool down before recharging.
