TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem: Unit will not charge OR Charger light does not turn green.
Solution(s):
•
Inspect charge connectors on unit and charger to insure a proper connection is
made.
•
Many outdoor or garage outlets in newer homes are protected by ground fault
(GFCI) circuits to prevent electrical shock from moisture. Make sure the
charger is completely plugged into wall outlet and that the outlet is in working
condition (i.e. not temporarily disabled by a GFCI protector).
•
The LED on the unit's charger should turn green after approximately 1 hour of
charging during regular use and 2 hours during its initial charge. After periods
of long storage (without charging the unit) it may be necessary to "awaken" the
unit's battery. This can be done by turning the unit on and running it for a few
minutes. Once completed, return the unit to the charger stand and after an
hour the LED should turn green.
Problem: String breaks frequently.
Solution(s):
•
Make sure to advance line frequently during use. This is especially critical
when trimming up against hard surfaces.
•
Inspect line spool to insure that line is not overlapping or internally jammed.
You should be able to tap the bump head with the palm of your hand and pull
approximately ¼" of line freely with the other hand. If this is not the case,
please rewind the spool in an even fashion to avoid tangling of the line in the
spool. Please see "Clearing Jams".
Problem: Cutting or run-time performance is diminished.
Solution(s):
•
Please follow the trimming and edging techniques described in this manual for
best performance.
•
The YardStick® should operate for approximately 20 minutes under a full
charge.
•
Inspect line head to make sure it is clean and free of obstruction(s).
•
Make sure the unit is fully charged – see the Operations section of this manual
for charging details.
Problem: Thumb safety switch is difficult to hold on during use.
Solution: The thumb safety switch need only be engaged when starting the unit.
There is no need to keep this switch engaged while using the product.
Problem: String does not cut easily when advanced.
