Electrical Safety
Battery use and care
•Make sure the power rating on the charger plug matches the outlet.
•Never modify the charger plug in any way.
•Do not use any adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
•Never use the power cable for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
charger.
•Never expose the battery charger or plug to damp or wet
environments.
•When you are not using the shears charger store in a safe dry place.
•Never leave a battery unattended when charging.
Your battery should be fully charged when you receive your shears, but you
should always follow the charging procedure.
Charging the battery
Check that your mains voltage is the same as that marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger.
Connect the charger to the charging socket (9) at the rear of the handle grip
(7) see image below.
Plug the battery charger in a power socket. The red LED will come on to
indicate that charging is underway.
A low battery pack requires a maximum charging period 3.5 hours. The
temperature of the battery may rise slightly during the charging operation.
This is normal.
As soon as battery fully charged, the red LED will turn off.
If the LED light does not come on or the battery fails to charge, check
whether there is voltage at the socket.
Regular recharging of the battery is advised to maintain full power of the
shears. Recharging is necessary when you notice a drop in the tool’s
performance.
Never allow the battery to become fully discharged, as this will shorten the
battery’s life.
