OPERATIONS
• CHARGE BATTERY PRIOR TO USE – The Clip&Shear™ does not come fully
charged when purchased. So before using the unit, the battery must be
charged. Before charging the battery, read safety and charging instructions.
• PROPER RUNTIME AND PERFOMANCE can only be obtained with a fully
charged battery.
• CHARGE TIME – 20 hours of charging is sufficient to replenish the battery to a
full charge. Initial use, long periods of inactivity, or storage at extreme tempera-
tures may require extended charge time.
• WALL CHARGE BRACKET – Before charging the unit, make sure the charge
bracket is securely attached to the wall; attach with screws to a wall stud, or use
appropriate wall anchors.
To Charge Battery:
1. Plug the charger into a 120 Volt AC outlet.
2. Place the Clip&Shear™ into the wall charge bracket. Make sure that the unit's
charge input connector has firm contact with the charge bracket output connec-
tor.

Charging Notes:
• CAUTION: The charger can be used with 60Hz cycle, and 115-120 VAC elec-
tricity only.
• The charger unit plugged into the AC outlet will normally become warm to touch
during charging.
• SAFE CHARGE – The charger utilizes trickle charging, which is the safest way
to charge a battery. The unit will not overcharge and can be left on charge in-
definitely.
• NI-MH Green Power – The Clipper utilizes Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. They
are environmentally safe and do not have a memory effect.
• Longest life and best performance will be obtained when charging in normal
room temperature.
