ELECTRICAL SAFETY
◾Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
◾Use only with chargers and power tools listed in
“SPECIFICATIONS”.
BATTERY PACK USE AND CARE
◾When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails screws or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a re.

3. If the battery pack is in the normal charging, the
green LED1 on the charger will ash. After green
button-pressing for at least 1s, the normal charging
(charging current 4A) will transform to rapid charging
(charging current 8A) and green LED2 on the charger
will ash with LED1 off.
4. 5 LEDs of battery pack shining green continuously
means the battery pack is fully charged. Wait until the
cooling fan of the charger stops, remove the battery
pack from the charger and disconnect the charger
from power supply.
5. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the
charger, but it will not overcharge.
NOTICE:
◾Following the instructions in the Operator’s Manual for
the EGO CHX5500E charger for more details.
◾A signicantly reduced running after fully charging the
battery pack indicates that the batteries are near the
end of their usable life and must be replaced.
◾If you have not inserted the plug into its place
completely, LED of charger light would ash continually.
◾The charger may warm during charging. This is part of
the normal operation of the charger. Charge in a well-
ventilated area.
USB / 12V DC
Uncover the rubber covers and insert the USB/DC plugs
into USB/DC ports (Fig. C & D). Then press the USB/DC
switch button, the battery pack will supply the devices
connected with the battery pack through the USB or DC
ports.
C-1 Rubber Covers D-2 12V DC Port
D-1 USB Port D-3 USB/DC Switch
NOTICE:
◾The functions of USB and 12V DC power can work
with 56V power source simultaneously. After using of
USB/12V DC, pull out the USB/DC plugs and put the
rubber covers into its place.
◾Should not use the USB/12V DC while the battery pack
is charging.
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme
temperature, over-discharge and over-charge. To protect
the battery from damage and prolong its life, the battery
pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes
overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high or too
low during use. This may happen in extremely high torque,
binding, and stalling situations.
◾In the case of charging, the battery pack will shut down
with all 5 LEDs being switched off when its temperature
exceeds 60°C or below 0°C. Once the temperature
returns back to normal in 90 minutes, the battery will
return to work automatically. Otherwise, the battery will
shut down, reinsert the plug into the charger again, can
reactivate charging.
◾The battery pack will also shut down with all 5 LEDs
being switched off when the voltage of a battery cell
exceeds its protective voltage. It is recommended to
discharge the battery pack immediately. If this tip is
repeated many times, please contact with EGO service
centers.
◾In the case of discharging, when the temperature of
battery pack exceeds 70°C or below -20°C, the battery
pack will shut down with the 5 LED shining red for
10s after button-pressing. The battery pack will return
to work in both conditions when normal temperature
resumes and will allow the power tool to restart.
◾When the voltage of a battery cell is less than 2,7V, the
battery pack will shut down with the 3 LED blinking
red for 10s after button-pressing. It is recommended to
stop work and charge your battery pack immediately.
If this tip is repeated many times, contact your service
technician for assistant.
WARNING: You should never heat the battery pack
under any circumstances.
CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
The battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before using
it for the rst time the battery should be charged.
WARNING: Do not charge the battery pack outdoors
or expose it to wet or damp conditions. Water entering the
charger or battery pack will increase the risk of electric
shock. For any additional details, please refer to the
Operator’s Manual for the EGO CHX5500E Charger.

and connect the power tools to the 1.5m connection cable.
Follow the instructions in the Operator’s Manual for the
individual EGO product.
WARNING: When emergency occurs, take off the
battery pack from your shoulder immediately. Releasing
the belt and strap buckle, then taking off the shoulder
harness at each side is a quick release method.
WARNING: Do not over tighten the shoulder straps as
it may make it difcult to remove the battery pack.
WARNING: Only certain EGO products can match
the battery pack, which is listed in “SPECIFICATION”. We
recommend you should not use the battery pack on other
power tools.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: The battery pack must be repaired or
replaced in EGO qualied service centre and technicians.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always
remove the battery pack from the tool when changing
accessories, cleaning or performing any maintenance.
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical EGO
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING: If cleaning with compressed air is the
only method to apply, always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields. If the operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake uids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury.
BATTERIES
Do not disassemble the battery pack or attempt to
replace the cells. Handling of the batteries, especially
when wearing rings and jewelry could result in serious
burns. To obtain the longest possible battery life, read and
understand the operator’s manual.
WARNING: It is good practice to unplug the charger
and remove the battery pack when not in use.
