To avoid risk of fire, electric shock, or electrocution:
• Do not use a damp cloth or detergent on the battery or battery charger.
• Always remove the battery pack before cleaning, inspecting, or performing
any maintenance on the hedge trimmer.
Cleaning
• Wipe the outside of the hedge trimmer with a dry, soft cloth. Do not hose
down or wash with water.
• Scrape the guard to remove dried clippings and mud.
• Brush or blow dust, debris, and grass clippings out of the air vents. Keep
them free of obstruction.
Battery Pack
• Store the battery pack fully charged.
• Once the charging light turns green, remove the battery from the charger.
• Do not store the battery pack on the tool.
• After charging, the battery pack may be stored in the charger, as long as the
charger is not plugged in.
Charger Maintenance
• Keep the charger clean and clear of debris. Do not allow foreign material to
get into the recessed cavity or onto the contacts. Wipe the charger clean with
a dry cloth. Do not use solvents or water, and do not place the charger in wet
conditions.
• Unplug the charger when there is no battery pack in it.
• Fully charge the batteries before placing them in storage.
• Store the charger at normal room temperature. Do not store it in excessive
heat. Do not use the charger in direct sunlight. Recharge at room temperature
between 43˚F and 104˚F (6˚C and 40˚C). If the battery pack is hot, allow it to
cool down before recharging.
