BATTERY DISPOSAL

Remove the battery pack from the Cordless Hedge Trimmer, cover the terminals with heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any components. This product contains lithium-ion batteries which must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of these batteries in the municipal solid waste or
rural trash pick up systems.
The RBRC seal on the Li-Ion battery pack indicates that the cost to recycle the battery pack at the end of its useful life has already
been paid by The Great States Corporation/American Lawn Mower Company. It is illegal to place spent Li-Ion batteries in the local
municipal solid waste or in the trash. RBRC in cooperation with The Great States Corporation/American Lawn Mower Company has
provided an environmentally friendly and easy way to recycle spent Li-Ion batteries. Just contact your local recycling center or call
1.800.8.BATTERY for information on where to drop off the spent battery.

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Charger
When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored in
temperatures down to -4 degrees F for a period of up to four
weeks, before requiring charging. Fully charge battery pack
every 90 days.
If over a period of time the battery pack quickly runs down
after a full 75 or 120 minutes charging period, a replacement
battery pack is needed.
To prevent permanent damage to the battery, never store in a
discharged condition.
WINTER STORAGE - Fully recharge before storage and then
again every 90 days.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have
to be fully discharged before recharging.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur
under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage gets on your skin.
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice of
vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
