ensure maximum running time, recharge your trimmer
for 24 hours before use.
3. Permanent connection to the charger in a well
ventilated area will automatically keep your battery
fully charged ready for use.

a discharged condition.

centre/dealer/distributor for a replacement battery and
for safe disposal of your old battery.

Battery Replacement
Should your battery need to be replaced contact your local
approved service centre or dealer who will remove your old
battery and fit a genuine Flymo replacement battery.
• IMPORTANT ! Switch charger off at the wall socket
before connecting or disconnecting the trimmer to the
wall bracket.
1. It is recommended that the wall bracket (F2) 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.
2. There are 3 holes on the wall bracket. Position the
wall bracket with the two holes at the top. See Fig G.
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.
5. Your cordless trimmer can now be attached to the wall
bracket for charging.
