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.
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 product is correctly located into the wall
bracket (F2) and the charge connector (G1).
4. Plug the charger (F1) into a suitable household
electrical wall socket and switch on.
5. The red indicator lamps (F3, F4) glow continuously
during charging.
• The red indicator lamp on the product (F3) is a
power indicator and will continue to glow red even
when the battery is fully charged.
6. Full charge will be achieved in 24 hours after which the
indicator lamp on the charger (F4) will turn to green.
During charging the charger becomes warm. This is
normal and means the charger is operating correctly.
Re-Charging Your Product
1. Re-charge the battery as soon as the cutting power
of your product begins to die and slow down.
2. Avoid running the product into "deep" discharge, i.e.
avoid flattening the battery completely.
3. Follow the procedure outlined in the Initial Charging
Procedure.
4. Charging the battery according to these instructions
should ensure maximum battery life.
• The charger will automatically keep the battery
topped up with charge during storage and will
ensure that the cordless trimmer is ready for use.
• The battery should be charged for 24 hours before use.
• 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, with the charger
switched on, without fear of overcharging.

Battery Care
1. If over a period of time the battery quickly runs down
after a full 24 hour charging period, a replacement
battery is needed.
2. There will be some charge present in the battery but
to 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.
4. To prevent permanent battery damage, never store in
a discharged condition.
