7. CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY OF THE INSTANT POWER™
IMPORTANT: CHARGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASE, AFTER EACH USE
AND EVERY 30 DAYS TO KEEP THE INSTANT POWER™ INTERNAL BATTERY
FULLY CHARGED.
7.1 Use of an improper extension cord to charge the Instant Power™ could result in a risk of
fire and electric shock. Make sure:
• That the pins on the plug of the extension cord are the same number, size and shape
as those of the plug on the Instant Power™.
• That the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• That the extension cord has a wire size of 18 gauge (AWG) [0.82 mm
2
] or larger and is
50 feet (15.24 meters) long or less.
7.2 To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn off and/or unplug the Instant Power™ before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Simply turning off the controls will not reduce
this risk.
7.3 When charging the internal battery, work in a well-ventilated area and do not restrict the
ventilation in any way.

should be recharged as soon as possible.
• A green LED
indicates the internal battery is fully charged.
• The CHARGING
(red) LED indicates the Instant Power™ is charging (connected
