RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. After normal usage, your battery pack
should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours. If
the battery pack is run-down completely,
it may take up to 9 hours to become fully
charged. Your battery pack was sent from
the factory in an uncharged condition. For
best performance charge battery until red
LED turns off. Allow the battery to cool
down 30 minutes before charging after
using the trimmer. NOTE: A hot battery
placed in the charger will not charge.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an
air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or
above 105°F (40,5 °C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack. Longest life and best per-
formance can be obtained if battery pack
is charged when air temperature is about
75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum
and become warm to touch. This is a
normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.
4. If battery pack does not charge properly
• Check current at receptacle by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance.
• Check to see if receptacle is connected
to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.
• Move charger and battery pack to a sur-
rounding air temperature of 40°F (4,5°C)
to 105°F (40,5 °C)
• If the receptacle and temperature are
OK, and you do not get proper charging,
call the Customer Service Department.
The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce sufficient power
on jobs which were easily done previously.
DO NOT CONTINUE using product with
its battery pack in a depleted condition.
To prolong battery life, avoid leaving the
battery pack on charger for extended pe-
riods of time (over 30 days without use).
Although overcharging is not a safety
concern, it can significantly reduce overall
battery life.
The battery pack will reach optimum per-
formance after being cycled 5 times during
normal usage. There is no need to run the
batteries down completely before recharg-
ing. Normal usage is the best method of
discharging and recharging the batteries.
