OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. On /Off and Up/Down
Controls:
There are several different types of hand set. All
have a Red button (E-Stop) for On-Off, and an Up
and Down button. The basic handset (Fig 1,)
shows these functions. This section deals only with
the common functions of turning the machine on/off
and driving it Up/Down.
Products with a motorised Tool have one of the
hand sets shown in fig 2 & 3. These have extra
buttons which control the extra functions on the tool
and these are explained in a separate section of
the manual if relevant.
ON - OFF
To switch ON, turn the red E-Stop button clockwise. It will pop up and the battery meter will illuminate. To
turn off, push the E-Stop button in until it locks. Note the lights on the Battery Meter go out
POWER SAVING
In order to save power, if the machine is left on and not used for a while, then it automatically goes to
sleep. To restart, push the Red E-Stop button in (to the Off position,) and then turn it clockwise (to the On
position.)
UP - DOWN
The white button raises and the black lowers.
NOTE: Always turn off when not in use to Maximise battery life.

BATTERIES
With the machine switched On, if the battery meter is showing Red or Orange then if needs to be turned off
and re-charged. Connect the Charge Lead (supplied with the machine,) to the socket on the side on the unit.
Then connect the other end of the Charge Lead to your AC power supply (100 – 240v only.)
When the unit is fully charged, the battery meter will show a green light to the far right hand side of the
meter.
The inbuilt charger is fully automatic and will switch off when charging is complete.
It also automatically disables the machine when on charging so that it cannot be used.
NOTE
If the battery voltage drops too low then the batteries will not be able to recharge and new batteries must be
fitted. This can give the wrong impression that the charger is faulty
If the battery meter does not show any light when switch on then the batteries have been over discharged
and must be changed. In this case do not try to recharge the damaged batteries as this can result in damage
to the charger.
The charger itself has a single LED:
Red on or flashing
Green blinking
If you think the charger is not working, ask an engineer to measure the output voltage from the charger which
should be around 24v.
Batteries are classified as environmentally hazardous waste, and for this reason should always be sent for
recycling after use, so as not to damage the environment.
