BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
■ Do not use other battery chargers. The 
battery charger supplied is specifically 
designed for the Lithium-Ion battery used in 
this garden appliance. 
■ Check the main power supply! The voltage 
of the power supply must correspond with the 
data on the nameplate of the battery charger. 
Battery chargers operate on 120V. 
■ The battery is equipped with a temperature 
monitor that allows charging only within a 
temperature range between 23
o
F and 122
o
F. 
This ensures an optimum battery service life. 
       WARNING!
   
■ If any part of the charger is missing or 
damaged, do not operate it! Replace the 
charger with a new one. Failure to heed this 
warning could result in possible serious injury.
■ Check the voltage! The voltage must 
comply with the information on the rating 
label.
BATTERY CHARGING PROCEDURE 
■ Align the battery pack to the slots on the 
charger and slide it in until it locks in place.
■ Connect the charger to the power supply.
■ Allow sufficient charging time (see Product 
Specifications), and then disconnect the 
charger from the power supply.
■ Press the release button on the battery 
pack and remove it from the charger.
NOTE:
 It is normal for the battery pack and 
charger to become warm (but not hot) during 
charging process. If the battery does not 
charge properly, check to make sure the 
electrical outlet is "live". 
Always charge the battery before storage! 
NOTE:
 The battery is supplied partially 
charged. To ensure full capacity of the 
battery, charge the battery in the battery 
charger before using the product for the first 
time. The Lithium-Ion battery can be charged 
at any time without reducing its service life. 
Interrupting the charging procedure does not 
affect the battery.
       WARNING!
   
To reduce risk of fire, never 
leave the battery connected with the charger 
for more than 24 hours!
