NOTES
1.
After
normal
usage,
your
battery
pack
should be tully 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 fl'om
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
blower/sweeper.
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 prob-
lem.
4.
If the battery
pack does not charge prop-
erly
* 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
surrounding
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
Selwice Department.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
