IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
DISCHARGING
To protect the Battery against deep discharging,
when the Battery is flat, a protective circuit will power
off the Pole Trimmer.
Do not continue to press any of the ON/OFF Triggers
or switches (6/7) after an automatic shut-off as this
will cause damage to the Battery (13).
The Battery must be re charged before further use.
NOTE: Up to 30 minutes cooling time may be
required (depending on ambient temperature and the
operation being performed) before the Battery will
start the charging cycle.
CAUTION: This unit's Battery pack has low voltage
protection. This means that, when fully discharged,
the unit will suddenly stop and will require charging.
You will not experience the normal tapering off or
slowing down of power as seen with other battery
types.

whenever possible.
CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not cover the
charging unit and do not charge the Battery in direct
sunlight or near heat sources.
CAUTION: Always remove the Charger Adaptor Plug
from the mains power outlet when not in use.
