Fitting the Wall Bracket and Charging the Battery  
IMPORTANT !  
Switch charger off at the wall socket before connecting or  
disconnecting the trimmer to the wall bracket.  
G
1. It is recommended that the wall bracket (G2) should be  
mounted on a smooth, vertical and internal wall which is  
strong enough to hold the weight of the product, in a well  
ventilated area between 5°C and 25°C.  
1
2. There are 3 holes on the wall bracket. Position the wall  
bracket with the two holes at the top. See Fig H.  
3. Ensure that when the trimmer is attached the bottom of  
the trimmer is within 4 inches (100 mm) of the ground,  
this will make it easier to hang the trimmer and will also  
ensure that the wall bracket is within easy reach of an  
electric socket to allow the charger to be plugged in.  
4. Fix wall bracket securely to the wall with the plugs and  
screws provided.  
2
5. Your cordless trimmer can now be attached to the wall  
bracket for charging.  
Initial Charging Procedure  
1. Use the charger indoors only.  
2. Ensure the charger is not exposed to moisture. Keep  
the charger and the trimmer dry at all times. Keep the  
charger well ventilated during charging.  
3. Ensure the trimmer is correctly located into the wall  
bracket (G2) and the charge connector (H1).  
4. Plug the charger (G1) into a suitable household electrical  
wall socket and switch on.  
5. The red indicator lamp glows continuously during charging.  
6. Full charge will be achieved in 24 hours. During  
charging the charger becomes warm. This is normal  
and means the charger is operating correctly.  
Re-Charging Your Cordless Trimmer  
1. Re-charge the battery as soon as the cutting power of  
your cordless trimmer begins to die and slow down.  
2. Avoid running the cordless trimmer into "deep" dis-  
charge, i.e. avoid flattening the battery completely.  
3. Follow the procedure outlined in the Initial Charging  
Procedure.  
The battery should be  
charged for 24 hours  
before use.  
H
Re-charge your cordless  
trimmer immediately after  
every use for the full 24  
hour charging period.  
The cordless trimmer  
can be left connected to  
the charger permanently,

Auto Line Feed System  
1. A short length of new line is fed out every time you  
switch on, this is caused by the cutting head acceler-  
ating up to its full speed.

2. To feed more line, it is necessary to switch-off, allow the motor  
to stop and then restart. When edging do this frequently.  
3. When the line feeds you will hear a change in the  
motor sound as well as the noise generated by the  
line being cut to its length.
