ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Preparing to Operate the Hedge trimmer
Step 1 – Charging The Battery
WARNING!
The charger and battery pack are specially designed to work together so do not attempt to use any
other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into your charger or battery pack connections
because of an electrical failure and hazard will occur.
BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS HEDGE TRIMMER, YOU MUST FULLY CHARGE THE
BATTERY
Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must charge once before use.
The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion battery installed in the machine. Do not use
another battery charger.
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.
When the battery is charged for the first time and after prolonged storage, the battery will only accept
approximately 60% charge. However, after several charge and discharge cycles the battery will accept
a 100% charge.
WARNING: When battery charge runs out after continuously use or exposure to direct sunlight or
heat, allow time for the tool to cool down before re-charging to achieve the full charge.
HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
Connect the battery charger to the power supply and the light will be green. Slide the battery pack
into the charger to make the connections. The light will turn red to show charging has started. A
discharged battery at normal ambient temperature will take approximately 3-5 hours to reach full
charge. When charging is completed the light will turn green.
