Charge the Battery Pack before your first use.
The NEUTON Battery-Powered Pole Saw uses a sealed, Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (optional). The Battery Pack is 18 volts and rated at 2.6 amp-
hours. The Battery Pack should not leak, regardless of the position in which it is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely” in Chapter 1 for
additional information. The Battery Pack is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. With all rechargeable Batteries, after
years of use, they will eventually need replacement.
You MUST charge the Battery Pack for at least 30-60 minutes before you use the Saw for the first time. If you do not charge it before
using the Saw, the Battery Pack’s charging capacity may decrease.
•
Make sure the Charger Power Supply is plugged into a normal household voltage, 120volts, 60Hz, AC only.
•
You should operate the Battery Charger in a dry place with temperatures between 32ºF (0ºC) and +80ºF (+26.7ºC). Operating above +80 ºF
can cause Battery Pack leakage, rust, or degradation of the Battery Pack performance.
•
Disconnect Charger Power Supply from the household voltage power when not in use to prevent damage to the Charger during a
power surge.
•
Periodically inspect the Cord on the Charger unit for damage. If damage occurs, do not use the Charger until you have replaced or
repaired the Cord. Do not abuse the Cord. Never carry the Charger by the Cord. Always pull the plug – and not the Cord – when
disconnecting the Power Supply from the electrical outlet (wall outlet) and from the Charger. When using an extension Cord with your
Charger, use a heavy-duty extension Cord of a type 'suitable for outdoor use' (although you should never charge the Battery Pack in the
open outdoors).
•
The Battery Pack requires 2-3 charging and discharging cycles before reaching full charge ability.
•
A Battery Pack may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it completely discharge. Recharge the
Battery Pack as soon as the cutting power of your NEUTON Battery-Powered Pole Saw is no longer effective. This would be a good time to
have a spare Battery Pack ready to go. Recharge the Battery Pack for 30-60 minutes until fully charged and remove it from the Charger.
•
A good time to consider purchasing a replacement Battery Pack is when it looses its power quickly.
1. Plug the Charger into a standard household electrical outlet (
Figure 5
). The Green LED will glow.
2. Place Battery Pack in the Charger (
Figure 5
). The Battery Pack and Charger have keyways so they will fit together only one way.
When properly connected, the RED LED will glow (
Figure 5
). If the RED LED flashes, this indicates a defective or wrong type
Battery.
3. The Charger Indicator Light will glow RED continuously while charging. When fully charged the RED LED will change to GREEN,
the Charger will shut OFF automatically after two (2) hours and the LED will remain GREEN.
When installing the Battery Pack,
DO NOT
push the Lock-Off Button or squeeze the Trigger ON/OFF Switch (
Figure 8
on page 7).
1. Install the Charged Battery Pack in your NEUTON Battery-Powered Pole Saw by aligning the connector on the Battery Pack with
the receptacle at the rear of the Saw and insert the Battery Pack (
Figure 6
) until the Latches on each side of the Battery Pack snap
into place; assuring a secure connection to the Saw. Again, the Battery Pack and Saw Housing have keyways so they will fit
together only one way.
2. To remove the Battery Pack, simply press both Latches on sides of the Battery Pack to release the Battery Pack from the NEUTON
Battery-Powered Pole Saw Housing (
Figure 6
) and pull the Battery Pack straight out.
