BATTERY CAP INFORMATION

Battery storage and carrying caps are provided for use whenever the battery is out of the tool

or charger. Remove cap before placing battery in charger or tool.

WARNING:

Do not store or carry battery so that metal objects can contact exposed battery

terminals. For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool boxes, product kit

boxes, drawers, etc. with loose nails, screws, keys, etc. without battery cap. Without cap in

place, battery could short circuit causing fire or burns or damage to battery.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

CHARGING THE POWER PACK

THE BATTERIES IN YOUR POWER PACK ARE NOT FULLY CHARGED AT THE FACTORY.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHARGE THEM, THOROUGHLY READ ALL OF THE SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.

1. Remove the power pack from the tool by squeezing the tab as shown in Figure 1.
2. Plug the charger into any standard 120 Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet.
3. Insert the power pack into the charger (Fig. 2) and let the battery charge initially for

9 hours. After the initial charge, under normal usage, your power pack should be fully

charged in 3 to 6 hours.

4. Remove pack from the charger and replace in tool.

Important Charging Notes

1. After normal usage, your power pack should be fully charged in 3 to 6 hours. If the power

pack is run-down completely, it may take up to 8 hours to become fully charged. Your

power pack was sent from the factory in an uncharged condition. Before attempting to use

it, it must be charged for at least 9 hours.

2. DO NOT charge the power pack in an air temperature below 40°F (5°C) or above

105°F (41°C). This is important and will prevent serious damage to the power pack.

Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the power pack is charged when

the air temperature is about 75°F (25°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 the power pack does not charge properly — (1) Check current at receptacle by

plugging in a lamp or other appliance. (2) Check to see if receptacle is connected to a

light switch which turns power off when you turn out the lights. (3) Move charger and

power pack to a surrounding air temperature of 40°F (5°C) to 105°F (41°C). (4) If the

receptacle and temperature are ok, and you do not get proper charging, take or send

the power pack and charger to your local authorized service center. See “Tools Electric”

in yellow pages.

5. The power pack should be recharged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs

which were easily done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use the trimmer with its

power pack in a depleted condition.

6. To prolong power pack life, avoid leaving the power pack on charge for more than 8

hours. Although overcharging is not a safety concern, it can significantly reduce overall

power pack life.

7. When the battery is inserted into the charger, the red “Charging Indicator” light will

come on indicating that there is contact between the battery and charger. The light will

stay on as long as the battery is in the charger and the charger is plugged into a

working outlet. It WILL NOT flash, go out or change to a different color when the

charging cycle is complete.

8. Do not charge power pack in rain or in wet conditions.
9. Use only the batteries and charger supplied with your hedge trimmer or identical

replacement parts.

10.Do not incinerate the batteries. They can explode in a fire. A small leakage of liquid

from the battery cells may occur under extreme usage, charging or temperature

conditions. This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is broken and this

leakage gets on your skin:
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for a minimum of

10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is a

25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

11.Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause

damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

12.Exercise care when handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting

materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and

cause burns.
