Subsequent charges
•
After normal usage, approximately 2 hours of charging time is required to fully
recharge the battery (9).
•
If the battery (9) is completely discharged, 5 hours or longer of charging time
will be required to fully recharge it.
Important charging notes
•
The charger adaptor (10) and battery (9) may become warm to touch while
charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.
•
Use the charger adaptor (10) at normal room temperature whenever possible.
To prevent overheating, do not cover the charger adaptor (10) and do not
charge the battery (9) in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
•
If the battery (9) does not charge properly:
- Check current at power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
- If charging problems persist, have the complete tool checked by an
electrician or a power tool repairer.
•
If the light on the charger adaptor (10) fails to come on:
- Check the charger adaptor (10) is securely plugged into the wall outlet and
switched on.
- Check the charging connector (11) is securely connected into the socket of
the battery (9).
•
To protect the battery (9) against deep discharging, when the battery (9) is flat,
a protective circuit switches off the Hedge Trimmer. The dual action cutting
blade (8) stops moving. Do not continue to press the on/off switches after an
automatic shut-off as it will damage the battery (9). The battery (9) must be re-
charged before further use.
Note:
if the battery (9) is flat and displays green charged LED, refer to Thermal
voltage protection note below. Note: cooling may be required.
Note:
Up to 30 minutes cooling time may be required depending on ambient
temperature and the operation being performed, before the battery will start the
charging cycle.
Thermal voltage protection indication
In the event that the thermal or voltage protection circuit has been activated the
battery (4) will cease to operate. This can happen when the tool has been used for
extended periods.
If you place the battery (9) on the charger the LED Lights will give you the
appearance that the battery (9) is fully charged. Leave the battery (9) on the
charger to charge for 3 -5 hours.
The battery (9) may take the full 5 hours to charge, as the battery (9) may need to
cool down or the protection circuits to be reset. This will allow the charger to
begin charging the battery (9) and resume normal operation.
