OPERATION
Charging the battery pack
NOTE:
Remove the battery pack from the charger after it has been fully charged.
NOTE:
Battery should be fully charged before first use.
NOTE:
Make sure the mains voltage is the same as rating label which is located on the
charger.
1. Connect the charger to a power supply. Red LED will light up.
2. To insert the battery pack into the charger, align the raised ribs of the battery pack with
the grooves of the charger then push it in.
(Fig. C)
3. The red LED light of the charger will light up and then the green light flashes during
normal charging.
4. After charging is complete, the charger light will turn to a solid green light.
5. Once the battery is fully charged , depress the battery release button and then remove
the battery pack.
(Fig. C)
Power indicator (Fig. D)
This Li-Ion battery pack is equipped with a power indicator which is used to show the battery
pack’s remaining charge. Press the power indicator button to check battery charge as picture
showed. The indicator will stay lit for approximately 4 seconds.
To obtain the best life from the battery
1. Never allow the battery to completely discharge before recharging. The battery pack
should be placed on the charger whenever the battery pack is noticeably running down
or the tool no longer performs a task it previously performed.
2. Avoid conducting short charges. Make sure that the battery is fully charged each time by
allowing the charger to complete its full charging cycle.
3. Avoid allowing loose items like screws or nails etc. to be stored with battery packs as
these or similar items can short battery packs and cause a fire or explosion.
4. Always unplug the charger when not in use and store in a dry and secure place.
5. Avoid charging or storing your battery in temperatures below 5°C and above 45°C.
6. After use, allow the battery pack to cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
OPERATION
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
Starting and Stopping
1. Insert the battery in the battery compartment. Push to make sure it is locked in place. (Fig.
E)
2. Set up a pile of fuel you like – charcoal, twigs and sticks, wood chips, or logs. Make sure
the mode switch is pushed forward and the fire starter is set in heat + blower mode,
touch the fuel with the tip of the cordless fire starter nozzle and slide the power switch
forward (Fig. G).
3. Keep the cordless fire starter aimed towards the same spot. There should be a glowing
spot in about 15 to 30 seconds.
4. When the fuel starts to burn, slide the mode switch back to the blower only mode, and
pull the fire starter a few inches back. Giving it space will help the heated air to spread
out (Fig. H).
NOTE:
Get the grill ready to cook faster by continuing on blower only mode until the grill
reaches the desired temperature.
5. When the grill is ready, slide back the power switch to turn off the fire starter. Remove
the battery. Rest the fire starter on its stand to let it cool down completely.
NOTE:
When the machine is shut down the fan will continue to work for couple seconds to
cool down the machine.
Mode Switch (Fig. I)
The fire starter is equipped with 2 working modes:
•
Heat + blower mode will heat the air and increase the temperature around the nozzle tip,
therefore ignite the fuel.
•
Blower only mode will increase the airflow and spread the heat after the fuel is ignited, to
create strong flame.
Adjust the unit's mode with the mode switch next to the power switch. Slide it forward to set
the fire starter to heat + blower mode. Slide it backward to set the fire starter to blower only
mode.
Operating Tips
DANGER!
Do not operate near explosive or flammable materials unless extraordinary safety
precautions are observed. The fire starter produces air at extremely high temperatures and
if exposed to explosive or flammable materials, will result in flame or possible explosion,
causing serious personal injury, death or property damage.
1. Always make sure flammable objects are kept at a safe distance.
2. Never use near gas, petroleum products, or other explosive substances.
