CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Charge the battery pack only with the charger provided.
Allow at least 60 minutes of charge time before initial use of
the hedge trimmer.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage, 120
volts, 60Hz, AC only.
The battery charger should be operated in temperatures
between 39 and 104 degrees F.
The battery should be charged in a cool, dry place.
Two to three initial charging/discharging cycles may be
required to achieve maximum run time/capacity.
DO NOT attempt to open the charger or the unit. There are no
customer serviceable parts inside. Call customer service
helpline at 1-800-618-7474 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.
DO NOT charge appliance in rain, or in wet locations.
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 safely 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 60 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 of
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.
