Packaging 

 
We recommend you keep your box in case you need to ship your machine 
back to the supplier at a future point in time.  

 

BATTERY AND CHARGING 

 
Your machine should last between 3-8 hours, depending on the settings you 
are using. 
 
The machine should arrive to you with some charge in the battery, however, if 
you have time, we encourage you to charge the machine before its first use.  
 

Internal Battery 

 
If you have an internal battery, simply plug the charger into the charger jack 
on the rear of the machine (swivel the jack cover to expose it) and plug the 
other end into a wall socket. Any master switch position will work. 
 
Your battery should be charged at least once per month, even if it has not 
been used. This will maintain the life of the battery. 

 
External Battery 

 
If you’ve ordered your machine with an external battery, you have the 
advantage of easily charging the battery separately from the machine (your 
machine is also 6 kg (10 lbs) lighter than internal battery machines). Your 
external battery has two plugs, one for connecting to the machine (male) and 
the other is for connecting to the charger (female). Please do not connect 
these together and always disconnect the battery from the machine when not 
in use.  There is no need to remove the battery from the bag while charging.
