How to make the batteries perform longer.
Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the gardening
appliance becomes weaker, stop using the
gardening appliance and recharge its battery. If you
continue to use the gardening appliance and
exhaust the electric current, the battery may be
damaged and its life will become shorter.
Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately
after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately
after use, its internal chemical substance will
deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened.
Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled
for a while.
CAUTION
●
When the battery charger has been continuously
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest
until the next charging.
●
If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject
to direct sunlight or because the battery has just
been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for
1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for
0.5 seconds).
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
●
When the pilot lamp flickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign
objects in the charger’s battery connector. If there
are no foreign objects, it is probable that the
battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to
your authorized Service Center.
NOTE
Charging times may be longer depending on the
surrounding temperature and battery conditions.
Charge time lamp indications are only a guide, and
may vary depending on the surrounding
temperature and battery conditions.
Remove the battery from the charger when not in
use.
ABOUT POWER LAMP
The power lamp indicates various statuses for the
gardening appliance. (Fig. 5)
Table 5 shows the various statuses indicated by the
power lamp.

ABOUT REMAINING BATTERY INDICATOR
The remaining battery lamp blinks when the remaining
battery power is low. (Fig. 6)
Please charge the gardening appliance as soon as
possible.
The table 6 shows the state of remaining battery
indicator lamp and the battery remaining power.
As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat
differently depending on ambient temperature and
battery characteristics, read it as a reference.
