minutes
of
charge
time
for
4Ah
battery before initial
use of the string trimmer.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
120volts, 60Hz, AC only.
The battery charger should be operated in temperatures
between 32 and 100 degrees F.
The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place.
2 to 3 initial charging/discharging cycles may be required to
achieve maximum run time/capacity.
Do not attempt to open the charger or the battery. There are
no customer serviceable parts inside. Call the customer ser-
vice help line at 1-800-313-5111 for assistance.
DO NOT incinerate battery packs even if they are severely
damaged or completely worn out. They can explode in a fire
causing injury.
Use the battery charger indoors only.
Disconnect charger from the power supply when not in use to
prevent damage to the charger during a power surge.
When fully charged, the battery can be safety stored in
temperatures down to –4° degrees F for a period of up to
four weeks, before requiring charging.
Fully charge battery pack every 90 days.
If over a period of time the battery pack quickly runs down
after a full 75 or 120 minutes charging period, a replacement
battery pack is needed.
To prevent permanent damage to the battery, never store in a
discharged condition.
WINTER STORAGE
—Fully recharge before storage and then
again every 90 days.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have
to be fully discharged before recharging.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur
under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage gets on your skin.
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
