BATTERY
THE LEAD ACiD BATTERY FOR YOUR TRIMMER IS ONLY
PARTIALLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY. BEFORE USING
YOUR TRIMMER, THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED FOR A
MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS.
• Your trimmer is equipped with a charger bracket that may be
mounted firmly to a walt in your garage, shed or similar building.
(Hardware for hanging the bracket is included in the plastic bag
packed with the trimmer.) Charging your battery in this bracket is
very convenient because it hangs the tool up, out of the way and
ensures a good, solid contact between the charging terminals.
