GRASS SHEAR LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating procedures. There-
fore, no further lubrication is required.
BATTERIES
Your battery pack is equipped with Nickel-Cadmium
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each
charging will depend on the type of work you are
doing. The batteries in this unit have been designed to
provide maximum trouble-free life. However, like all
batteries, they will eventually wear out. DO NOT
disassemble battery pack and attempt to replace the
batteries. Handling of these batteries, especially when
wearing rings and jewelry, could result in serious
burn. To obtain the longest possible battery pack life,
we suggest the following:
• Store and charge your batteries in a cool area.
Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will shorten battery pack life.
• Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Wait for battery pack to cool and charge immedi-
ately.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The
higher the temperature, the quicker they lose their
charge. If you store your unit for long periods of
time without using it, recharge the batteries every
month or two. This practice will prolong battery
pack life.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this unit or create or
mount any accessory not specifically recom-
mended in this manual for use with the grass
shear. Any such alteration or modification is
misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious personal injury.
