SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS e_ =A• CONNECTING TOOL ATTACHMENT TO THE POWER HANDLE Be sure to follow the following safety precautions when attaching and detaching tools from the power handle. Remove the battery from the handle before attaching or detaching tools. Never touch the control switches on the power handle when attaching and detaching tools. Please refer to the instruction manual for the Power Handle for proper operation of the Power Handle, battery and charger. To attach a tool: 1. Twist the lock ring on the power handle to the unlocked position. (see figure 1) Figure 2 3. Grasp the tool attachment firmly with one hand (note, do not grasp on a rotating part such as the auxiliary handle), and twist the lock ring on the power handle to the locked position with the other hand. (see figure 3) Figure 1 2. Insert the male end of the power handle interface into the female socket in the end of the tool attachment making sure that it is firmly seated. (see figure 2) The interface is keyed so that it will only go together one way. The handle and tool should go together easily. If you experience resistance in putting them together, check that the keys on the handle are properly aligned with the slots in the tool. Figure 3 To detach a tool: 1. Grasp the tool attachment firmly with one hand (note, do not grasp on a rotating part such as the auxiliary handle), and twist the lock ring on the power handle to the unlocked position with the other hand.

Insert the battery fully into the handle making sure that the spring- loaded buttons on each side of the battery pack snap into place in the handle. Removing the Battery 1. Depress the spring-loaded buttons on both sides of the battery simultaneously. (see figure 6) Figure 6 2. Pull the battery pack straight out from the handle. To turn the tool on: 1. Grip the control grip firmly with one hand and grip the auxiliary handle on the tool attachment (if provided) with the other hand. 2. Push the trigger that your thumb rests on straight forward, this is the safety release. (see figure 7) Figure 7 3. While holding the switch under your thumb in the forward position, use your fingers to pull upward on the control trigger. (see figure 8) This will energize the tool and allow you to do your work. It is NOT necessary to keep pressure on the thumb switch after the tool has started. Please note that the tool will not start if the lock ring is not in the fully locked position. Figure8 To turn the tool off: 1. Release the control trigger and the tool wilt turn off. The thumb switch will return to the rearward position to prevent accidental re-starting of the tool. CAUTION -Blades coast after turn-off. OVERLOAD PROTECTION The hedge trimmer attachment incorporates a circuit breaker which will protect the hedge trimmer in the event of a prolonged stall. This device will cause the tool to stop operating if an overload condition exists. If the hedge trimmer becomes jammed on a branch, release the control trigger immediately. If, after clearing the jam, the hedge trimmer does not restart, check to see if the circuit breaker has popped (see figure 9). The circuit breaker can be reset by simply waiting 30 seconds and then pushing it back in until it clicks. You may then resume normal trimming. circuit breaker Figure 9 Rotating Handle The Craftsman hedge trimmer attachment has a unique rotating front handle which allows the hedge trimmer to rotate making it easier to trim the sides of hedges and allowing a greater reach when trimming the tops of tall hedges. The handle locks in any of three positions; upright, 90 degrees left, and 90 degrees right. To unlock the rotating handle, push in on the wide button located on the underside of the front handle grip (see figure 10). As long as you hold in on the button, the handle will rotate freely. When you release the button, the handle will lock in one of the three lock positions. Figure 10 Trimming the Front of Hedges To trim the front of hedges, push the handle release button and allow the trimmer to rotate through the handle as you sweep the blade across the faceofthebushes.(seefigure11) Keephandawayfromblades.Wear Thistechniquewillallowyoutokeep eyeprotectionusing whentheunit. fromtwistingandcontortingHoldthetrimmerwithbothhands your firmlybodyandmakestrimmingmuchmore andturnON.(seefigure13) comfortable.
