BATTERY
The battery is protected from deep discharge via a protective circuit. When the battery voltage
drops below a certain level, the blower will automatically switch off; then the blower will not
operate until the battery has been recharged.
In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit charging.
Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
Never attempt to open or modify the battery for any reason. Released electrolyte is extremely
corrosive and may cause damage to eyes and skin. It is toxic if swallowed.
Under extreme conditions, battery leakage may occur. When you notice liquid on the battery,
proceed as follows.
Carefully wipe the liquid off using a cloth. Avoid skin contact.
•
In case of skin or eye contract, follow the instructions below.
•
The battery fluid, a 25-30% solution of potassium hydroxide, can be extremely harmful. In
•
case of skin contact, immediately rinse with water. Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar. In case of eye contact, rinse abundantly with clean water for at least
10 minutes.
Do not expose the battery to water.
Do not store in locations where the temperature may exceed 40C.
Charge at room temperature. 18C ~ 24C and never at ambient temperatures below 4C or above
40C.
Charge only using the charger provided.
Before charging, make sure that the battery is dry and clean.
Exercise care in handling and storing batteries in order to not short them with conductive materials
such as rings, keys, coins etc... There is a real risk of the battery or conductor overheating, causing
fire or burns.
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire as it may explode. Check with the local council for suitable
disposal sites.
CHARGER
Only use the charger supplied with the tool to charge the battery. Other chargers could damage the
battery and possibly cause it to overheat.
Never attempt to charge non-rechargeable batteries.
Do not expose the charger to water.
Do not open the charger.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Before attempting to recharge the battery pack, read the safety instructions fully.
The battery needs to be charged before first use, and whenever it fails to produce sufficient power to
do the job.
The battery may become warm while charging; this is normal and does not indicate a problem.
NOTE: After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will attain full capacity.
1. Plug cord from charger into charger base. (IMPORTANT: Do
not use any other charger. Only use charger that came with
the product)
2. Plug the charger into the electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the power and the green LED will illuminate.
4. Slide the battery into the battery charger. The red LED will
illuminate, indicating that the battery is on charge.
5. When the red LED turns off and the green LED lights up, the battery is full charged.
6. Unplug the charger. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
