IMPORTANT !
Switch charger off at the wall socket
before connecting or disconnecting the
trimmer to the wall bracket.
G
1
1. It is recommended that the wall bracket
(G2) 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 H.
2
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 and re-charging your cordless trimmer

the wall bracket (G2) and the charge
connector (H1).
1
4. Plug the charger (G1) into a suitable
household electrical wall socket and switch
on.
5. The red indicator lamp glows continuously
during charging.
6. Full charge will be achieved in 24 hours.

before use.
Re-Charging Your Cordless Trimmer
•
•
•
Re-charge your cordless trimmer
immediately after every use for the full 24
hour charging period.

power of your cordless trimmer begins to die
and slow down.
The cordless trimmer can be left connected
to the charger permanently, with the charger
switched on, without fear of overcharging.
2. Avoid running the cordless trimmer into
"deep" discharge, i.e. avoid flattening the
battery completely.
The charger will automatically keep the
battery topped up with charge during
storage and will ensure that the cordless
trimmer is ready for use.
3. Follow the procedure outlined in the Initial
Charging Procedure.
4. Charging the battery according to these
instructions should ensure maximum battery
life.
