any other charger could permanently dam-
age the battery pack and the hedge trim-
mer.

electrical outlets only. See the voltage
specifications on the charger.
S Ensure the charger is not exposed to mois-
ture. Keep the charger and the hedge trim-
mer dry at all times.
S Keep the charger well ventilated during
charging. Do not place the charger in an
area of extreme heat or cold. It will work
best at normal room temperature.
S Use the charger indoors only.
S The battery pack should be charged for 5--6
hours before use.

warm. This is normal and means the char-
ger is operating correctly.
