Homelite GS120V manual Grass Shear Lubrication, Batteries

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

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.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. Fire or injury can result.

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.

CAUTION:

Any repairs requiring disassembly should only be performed by a Homelite Authorized Service Center. For the repair center nearest you, call
