IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
First Aid
Each battery cell contains chemical materials that are stored in a hermetically sealed container
designed to withstand temperatures and pressures encountered during normal use. As a result,
during normal use, there is no physical danger of ignition or explosion and chemical danger of
hazardous materials’ leakage.
However, if exposed to a re, added mechanical shocks, decomposed or added electric stress
by miss-use, then hazardous materials maybe released. If this occurs please do the following:
Do not make contact with the leaking substance. If contact is made by a person apply the
appropriate rst aid listed below:
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give articial respiration. If breathing
is difcult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention if breathing problems develop. This information
is relevant only if the battery is broken and therefore results in a direct contact with the
ingredients.
Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash
affected areas with water and soap. Seek medical attention. This information is relevant only if
the battery is broken and therefore results in a direct contact with the ingredients.
Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove
contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention. This
information is relevant only if the battery is broken and therefore results in a direct contact with
the ingredients.
Ingestion: Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical
attention. This information is relevant only if the battery is broken and therefore results in a
direct contact with the ingredients.

sunlight or heat. Store the battery at a temperature between 10°C to 35°C & between 40% to
85% relative humidity.
CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE CHARGER
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling
advice.
Lithium-ion Hazard & Precautions

& precautions only apply when battery pack is damaged &
Lithium-ion cells are exposed.
Lithium-ion is harmful if swallowed or when in contact with skin.
Lithium-ion may cause serious eye damage.
Lithium-ion may cause an allergic skin reaction.
Lithium-ion may cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.
Do not inhale Lithium-ion dust or vapours.

CHECKING BATTERY CAPACITY
Press the battery capacity indicator (BCI) button. The lights will illuminate according to the
batteries capacity level. See chart below:
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Briggs & Stratton 82V lithium-ion battery packs are designed with features that protect the
lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and resume operation. If the tool still does
not work, the battery needs to be recharged.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F). Put the battery
pack on a tool and use the tool in a light duty application. After about a minute, the pack will
warm up and begin operating normally.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge prior to rst use. If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your nearest Authorized Service
Center for electrical check.
• Charge the battery pack only with the recommended charger.
• Connect the charger to a power supply. For approved power sources, refer to the operator’s
manual for the charger.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
• Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery pack engage properly with
contacts in the charger.
• The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work
best at normal room temperature.
• When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and remove
the battery pack.

OPERATION
CHARGING PROCEDURE
NOTE: The battery is not shipped fully charged. It is recommended to fully charge before rst
use to ensure that maximum run time can be achieved. This lithium-ion battery will not develop a
memory and may be charged at any time.
1. Plug the charger into an AC power outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack (1) into the charger (2).
This is a diagnostic charger. The Charger LED Light (3) will illuminate in specic order to
communicate the current battery status. They are as follows:
False defect note:
When the battery is inserted into the charger and the status LED blinks RED, remove the battery
from the charger for 1 minute, then reinsert. If the status LED blinks GREEN, then the battery
is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking RED, remove the battery and unplug the
charger for 1 minute. After 1 minute, plug in the charger and reinsert the battery. If the status LED
blinks GREEN, then the battery is properly charging. If the status LED is still blinking RED, the
battery is defective and needs to be replaced.
NOTE: When the red indictor ickers, pull out the battery from the charger and insert again within
2 hours. If the indictor shows charging, that means the battery is good. After 2 hours, please pull
out the battery and also pull out the AC power plug of the charger for 1 miniute, and then insert
the AC power plug and the battery again. If the indictor shows charging, that means the battery is
good. If not, the battery needs to be changed.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
• Check the current at the power outlet with another tool.
• Make sure that the outlet is not turned off.
• Check that the charger contacts have not been shorted by debris or foreign material.
• If the surrounding air temperature is not normal room temperature, move the charger and
battery pack to a location where the temperature is between 6°C and 40°C.
