POSSIBLE CAUSE
Recharge. See "Charging the battery pack".
Press the trigger lock-out before squeezing the
throttle trigger. See "Starting the hedge trimmer".
Press the battery pack into the battery port until it
clicks into place.
Remove the battery pack, remove debris from the
battery port, and then clean the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth.
Allow the battery pack to warm to the minimum
operating temperature of 32°F (0°C).
See "Correcting blade bind".
See "Blade care".
Have the cutting blades professionally sharpened.
This may occur when the hedge trimmer is
run continuously or exposed to high ambient
temperatures. Allow the battery pack to reach the
acceptable temperature range before charging.
See "Charging the battery pack".
Inspect the contacts on both the battery pack and
the charger. Clean as described in "Maintenance
and cleaning", then reinsert into the charger and
make sure it is fully seated.
All batteries have a limited life. If the battery pack
is more than two years old or has been recharged
frequently, it may be time to replace it. Replace
only with the battery pack specified for this hedge
trimmer.
Have the function checked at an approved service
location.
