This document serves as an operator manual for Greenworks battery chargers. It provides essential safety instructions, operational guidelines, technical specifications, and maintenance procedures for various charger models.
Function Description:
The Greenworks chargers are designed to recharge Greenworks 24V series lithium-ion battery packs. They are diagnostic chargers, indicating the battery's current status through an LED light system. The chargers are intended for indoor use only and are compatible with specific Greenworks 24V battery models.
Important Safety Instructions:
To ensure safe operation and prevent fire or electrical shock, users must adhere to strict safety guidelines:
- Ventilation: Do not cover the charger's ventilation slots or place the charger on soft surfaces like blankets or pillows. Ensure ventilation slots remain clear.
- Voltage Compatibility: Confirm voltage availability in your country before using the charger. Use appropriate plug adaptors if necessary.
- Liquid Avoidance: Do not allow liquid inside the charger.
- Intended Use: Use the charger only for its intended purpose as described in the manual.
- Cleaning: Unplug the charger and remove the battery pack before cleaning. Do not use damp cloths or detergents on the battery or charger.
- Connection: Do not connect two chargers together. Ensure output polarity matches load polarity.
- Environmental Conditions: For indoor use only. Do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight or warm environments. Maintain normal room temperature between 6 °C and 40 °C (42.8 °F and 104 °F) for optimal charging.
- Foreign Objects: Prevent small metal items, steel wool, aluminum foil, or other foreign particles from entering the charger cavity.
- Battery Type: Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries. Use only Greenworks 24V series approved replacement batteries (e.g., LB24A020). Other battery types may burst, causing injury and damage.
- Children and Supervised Use: This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and older, and individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, only with supervision and proper instruction regarding safe use and understanding of hazards. Children should not play with the appliance, and cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
- Damaged Cord Set: If the cord set is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord set available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
- Water Source: The battery should never be near a water source.
- Maintenance: Always remove the battery pack before cleaning, inspecting, or performing any maintenance on the tool.
