Electrical safety

The electric motor has been designed for one
voltage only. Always check that the battery pack
power corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate. Also make sure that the voltage of your
charger corresponds to that of your mains.
Your Elu charger is double insulated in
accordance with EN 60335.
Mains plug replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
• Should your mains plug need replacing and you
are competent to do this, proceed as instructed
below. If you are in doubt, contact an Elu
authorized repair agent or a qualified electrician.
• Disconnect the plug from the supply.
• Cut off the plug and dispose of it safely; a plug
with bared copper conductors is dangerous if
engaged in a live socket outlet.
• Only fit 13 Amperes BS1363A approved plugs
fitted with the correctly rated fuse (1).
• The cable wire colours, or a letter, will be marked
at the connection points of most good quality
plugs. Attach the wires to their respective points
in the plug (see below). Brown is for Live (L) (2)
and Blue is for Neutral (N) (4).
• Before replacing the top cover of the mains plug
ensure that the cable restraint (3) is holding the
outer sheath of the cable firmly and that the two
leads are correctly fixed at the terminal screws.
Never use a light socket.
Never connect the live (L) or neutral (N)
wires to the earth pin marked E or
en - 4
Using an extension cable
An extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary. Use an approved extension
cable suitable for the power input of your charger
(see technical data). The minimum conductor size is
1.5 mm 2 ; the maximum length is 30 m.

Assembly and adjustment

• Prior to assembly and adjustment,
always remove the battery pack.
• Always switch OFF the tool before
inserting or removing the battery pack.
• Use only Elu battery packs and chargers.
Battery pack (fig. A)
Charging the battery pack
When charging the battery pack for the first time,
or after prolonged storage, it will only accept an 80%
charge. After several charge and discharge cycles,
the battery pack will attain full capacity. Always check
the mains prior to charging the battery pack. If the
mains is functioning but the battery pack does not
charge, take your charger to an Elu authorised repair
agent. Whilst charging, the charger and the battery
pack may become warm to touch. This is a normal
condition and does not indicate a problem.
Do not charge the battery pack at
ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C.
Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.
• To charge the battery pack (5), insert it into the
charger (7) as shown and plug in the charger.
Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red charging indicator (8) will blink.
After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and
remain on. The battery pack is now fully charged
and the charger automatically switches to
equalise mode. After approx. 4 hours, it will
switch to maintenance charge mode. The battery
pack can be removed at any time or left in the
.
connected charger indefinitely.
• The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to
indicate a charging problem. Reinsert the battery
pack or try a new one. If the new pack also
refuses to charge, have your charger tested by
an authorized Elu repair agent.
