BATTERY CHARGING
Battery
The length of service between each charge will depend on the type of work you are
doing. The battery in this tool has been designed to provide maximum trouble free
life. However, like all batteries, it will eventually wear out.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
• Store and charge your tool in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal
room temperature will shorten battery life.
• Never store the tool with the battery in a discharged condition. Recharge them
immediately after they are discharged.
• All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the temperature the quicker
they lose their charge. If you store your tool for long periods of time without using
it, recharge the battery every 6 months. This practice will prolong battery life.
This tool has been shipped in a low charge condition and should be fully charged prior
to use.
Plug the 230-240V charger adaptor (7) into an appropriate AC
power outlet. Connect the AC Adaptor charger plug (6) into the
charging socket (5) of the pruner and switch on the mains power.
LEDs no.1 and 2 will not be illuminated, LED no.3 will be
illuminated red whilst charging.
The battery will take approximately 5 hours to charge. When the
charging process has been completed LED lights 1, 2 & 3 will be
illuminated green. Battery charging may take up to 7 hours due
to the level of charge left in the battery and state of the ambient temperature.
NOTE: The charge indicator LEDs (4) will always be illuminated when the charger is
plugged in and turned on. The state of charge indicator indicates the charge of the pruner.
