4. Battery

Battery is not included for solo machines

Warning: Do not try to disassemble, short circuit or put it to extreme heat or fire, as it can cause serious inquiry and permanent damage to the battery!

Charging

• Only use the original charger with art. no. 443711 (standard charger).
• Before the battery is being used the first time, it is recommended to full charge it first.

Note: The battery does not have any power indicator.

Important

To protect the battery from total discharge, the machine will stop, when the battery is nearly empty. The machine must not be started up again after automatic shutdown, as it can damage the battery. The battery must be recharges before the work can continue.

5. Charger

Charger is not included for solo machines

Only use the original charger, which is included with the product and do not try to charge other type of batteries in the charger, other than the original battery with art. no. 443547 (3.0Ah).
4 Keep the charger in a dry and warm environment (10-25 degrees C) and only use it indoor. It should be connected to a normal 230V AC socket.
Before the battery is being used the first time, it is recommended to charge it fully.
The surface of the battery can become warm during charging. This is normal.
Do not cover battery or charger during charging. Allow free ventilation of air.

Fig. 17:

Insert the battery into the slots of the charger and slide it into place until it locks.

There are 2 lights on the charger indicating the status and state of charge of the battery:

• Constant green light: The charger is ready for use, but no battery is connected
  • Constant red light: Battery is charging
• Constant green light: Battery is fully charged and should be removed from charger.

The charger will stop, when the battery is full. However, it is not recommended to leave the battery in charger for more than 24 hours.

It is recommended to drain the battery 80% and fully charge it whenever possible, as it can increase the health of the battery. But partial charge will not damage the battery.

To remove the battery from the charger, simply pull the battery out.

During winter storage, the battery should be fully charged and kept dry and warm at 10-15 degrees C. Charge the battery every 3 months to maintain the battery's capacity and to extend the lifetime. Make sure to keep ventilation holes clean and free from dirt.

A full charge of battery takes around 150 min (3.0Ah battery).

The battery cells will go to sleep-mode if ont used for long time and must be activated again t oreach full capacity. The battery will reach its full power after 5 full recharge cycles. Therefore, you might experience that for the first few times uses, the battery's operating time is a few minutes less than when it reaches its full power/capacity. This is also the case after long times winter storage.

6. Use

Before use, make sure that the battery is fitted properly with the battery lock in place.

To start the machine first press the safety lock (1) and then the on/off switch (2) Stop the machine by releasing the on/off switch. Fig. 10

7. Clothing

When using the machine, wear tight-fitting work clothes, strong working gloves, hearing protectors, safety goggles and boots with non-skid soles

8. Tips and advices

Trimming.

Hold the trimmer head just above the ground at an angle. It is the end of the line that does the work. Let the line work at its own pace. Never press the line into the area to be cut.

Cutting.

The trimmer is ideal for cutting grass that is difficult to reach using a normal lawn mower. Keep the line parallel to the ground when cutting. Avoid pressing the trimmer head against the ground as this can ruin the lawn and damage the tool.

Do not allow the trimmer head to constantly come into contact with the ground during normal cutting, as this can cause damage and wear to the trimmer head.

10. Maintenance

• Before any service and maintenance is done, the power must be disconnected, it means the battery removed from the tool.
• Remove the battery before you clean and store the machine.
• Clean the housing and other parts with a soft brush and a moist cloth. Never use aggressive cleansers or solvents.
• Prevent water from getting into the machine.

Replacing nylon spool

Once nylon wire is used up, you need to replace nylon spool or wind with new wire on existing spool.

• Press the two clips on the spool bottom, remove it and pull out the spool. Fig. 16.
• Pull out the old nylon spool and replace it with a new one.
• Put the wire through the hole on the spool cover. Push the nylon spool into the spool cover. The nylon line will automatically come out wwhen you start the grass trimmer
• Press the two clips on the spool bottom and reinstall it.
• New nylon wire can also be rolled on the existing spool. Cut and use 5 m new wire.
