OPERATION
Avoid edging in wet soil/grass. The blade guard may clog
and cause unexpected results. If the blade guard becomes
clogged, stop the tool, remove the battery pack, and clean
debris from the blade guard.
Grasp the tool firmly with your right hand on the rear handle
and your left hand on the front handle. Always stand behind
the guard. Hold the tool in a comfortable position with the
rear handle about hip height.
Slide the tool along the surface, taking care to avoid contact
with hard objects. Use the blade ridge to align the blade with
the edging surface.
Push the tool at a steady pace. If the blade begins to bog
down, slow the cutting pace. Do not force the blade into the
ground.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time
should be recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the
performance of the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure
to heat or sunshine (risk of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept
clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully
charged, after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery
pack from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture
Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition
Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
BATTERY PACK PROTECTION LI-ION BATTERY
The battery pack has overload protection that protects it
from being overloaded and helps to ensure long life.
Under extreme stress the battery electronics switch o󰀨 the
machine automatically. To restart, switch the machine o󰀨
and then on again. If the machine does not start up again,
the battery pack may have discharged completely. In this
case it must be recharged in the battery charger.
