pack to over heat. When a preset cell temperature is
detected, the battery pack will automatically STOP
operating and will not restart until the battery pack has
cooled to a safe level.
In this condition, DO NOT force-cool the pack by placing in
a freezer or similar device. Refer to the “
Overload
” section
in this manual.
Another feature of the battery pack is the
low voltage
cut out
feature. This feature operates when the voltage
drops below a preset value. When this occurs the tool
will automatically stop operating. To correct the situation
you need to either insert another charged battery into the
trimmer or recharge the existing battery, and then proceed
with the application.
Note:
Attempting to restart the tool in this condition without
either recharging the battery or installing a battery with
charge will lead to it restarting and then stopping again after
only a few seconds of operation.
These safety devices have been fitted for the safety,
reliability and life of the tool.
Fitting and removing
the battery pack
To remove the battery pack
from the tool firmly press the
battery release button at the
back of the battery pack and
slide the battery pack backward,
and then pull or lift the battery
out of the tool handle.
To install the battery pack into
the tool, align the rails of the
battery pack with the rails slots
in the tool and push the battery
into the housing. To connect
the battery, slide the battery
pack fully forward.
Battery charging
IMPORTANT.
Before plugging in the power supply from
the plug pack charger (7) always ensure that the plug is
switched off at the mains.
IMPORTANT.
The battery will be fully charged after approx
3-5 hours: remove it from the charger after this time.
Do not leave a battery charging for longer than 24 hours.
1. Connect the plug pack charger (13) to a mains power
outlet (240Vac).
2. Insert the plug pack charger (13) lead into the back of the
battery.
3. Turn on the plug pack charger. The red indicator on the
battery pack will glow red indicating power is available
at the battery pack. If the battery is charging the green
indicator light will illuminate. The red light will always
glow red when the charger is connected and power is
available.
4. When the battery is charged, the green light will no longer
glow. The battery is now fully charged.
Note:
You do not have to wait for a full charge of the battery
to use it on the tool. The battery may be used on the tool
as long as there is some charge in the battery.
CAUTION:
If using the battery in a semi-charged state after
a period of charging be sure to remove the battery from the
plug Pack charger. DO NOT use the Battery on the tool if it
is connected to the plug pack charger.
