where it can fall or be pulled into
a tub or sink. Do not place in or
drop into water or other liquid.
4. Unplug this appliance before
cleaning.
5. Do not lay metal objects
across postive (+) and
negative (-) battery terminals.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, fire,
electric shock, or injury to persons:
1. Close supervision is necessary when
this appliance is used by, on, or
near animals, children or invalids.
2. Use this appliance only for its
intended use as described in this
manual. Do not use attachments
unless recommended by the
manufacturer.
3. Never operate charger if it has
a damaged cord or plug, if it is
not working properly, if it has
been dropped or damaged, or
dropped into water.
4. Keep charger cord away
from heated surfaces.
5. Never drop or insert any object
into any opening of the charger.
6. Do not use outdoors or operate

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

DO NOT USE THIS CLIPPER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREPARATION FOR USE
When the unit is used for the first time, or after a long period of storage, the
batteries will not be charged and blade action will be absent or weak. To determine
if battery is ready for use, simply place battery into charger. If LED is green, battery
is fully charged
HOW TO RECHARGE UNIT
A Discharged battery pack can be charged either by itself or while still attached to
cutting head (i.e., balde/driver housing). For either method, simply place proper
end of battery pack into charger pocket and observe the color of the LED. Note:
There is a slot on the battery and a matching rib in the charger pocket to help you
properly orient the battery pack (i.e., ensure proper polarization). The following
legend will aid in determining the status of your battery.
LED CONDITION INDICATES
Red continuous Battery is not fully charged, but charge
is in progress
Green continuous Battery is fully charged and ready for
use.
Red blinking Battery fault. New battery is needed.
RECHARGING REMINDERS
1. Your battery charger delivers state-of-the-art charging intelligence to maximize
the battery life, reduce safty hazards and minimize idle time for the clipper
user. This feature far exceeds typical battery chargers, but occasionally (once
every few months) let the clipper run the battery pack down until motor stops.
Recharge battery pack fully. If clipper usage is heavy and battery packs are
typically fully discharged anyway, the above procedure will not be necessary.
2. The typical charge time for a fully discharged, new battery (at room
temperature) is approximately 50-60 minutes. Actual charge time will vary
with actual usage and age of battery. Sometimes it will take less then 50-60
minutes to recharge (if the battery is not completely discharged), sometimes
it may take longer (if the battery is being used in hot environment and it
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

is being run continnuously). This variance is normal and indicates that
your charger is working properly by processing a number of variables and
maximizing the performance of the clipper as well as the battery life.
• Do not recharge or store this unit near radiators or other
heat sources or where exposed to strong sunlight.
• It is not recommended to attempt charging
in a wet or extremely humid place.
3. When sending your clipper to your Oster®Authorized Service
Center, please refer to enclosed Service information.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The rechargeable batteries contained in this unit will eventually deplete with
repeated use. Please follow these instructions when replacng the batteries.
1. The batteries are nickel metal hydride batteries. These must
be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of these
batteries in your regular garbage pick up.
2. Replace old batteries with a new Oster®NIMH BATTERY PACK
(78400-101-051).
3. Brand new batteries may not reach thier full capacity until they
have experienced three to five complete charge/discharge cycles
Until that occurs, operating time may be somewhat reduced.
4. Do not short circuit the battery (i.e. connecting postive and negative
terminals via a conductive material). This generates heat and may cause injury.
5. Do not attempt to disassemble the battery pack. The battery pack is not
user serviceable.
OPERATING THE CLIPPER
1. Remove the plastic blade guard covering the teeth of the blade.
2. Disperse a few drops of clipper oil (included) across the
blades. Wipe off excess oil with a clean, dry cloth.
3. If batteries are fully charged, simply turn the clipper switch on and begin
using unit. If the batteries are discharged completely, or if the batteries
become weak or die during use, they should be recharged. Simply turn
switch on battery pack to “off” position and place battery into charger pocket.
Note: Battery does not need to be removed from clipper, but can be if desired.
4. When finished using or any time clipper is returned to craddle, turn
the switch off to begin recharging (see recharging instructions).

5. Sweep the hair clippings from the blades using the cleaning brush (included).
Wipe the housing with a clean, dry cloth.
6. Before replacing the blade guard for clipper storage, spread one or
two drops of oil over the blades to prevent the blades from rusting.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
A light film of oil should be maintained on the surface of the cutting blades.
Oilling the blades frequently while in use will help keep the blades cleaner
and will extend run time per battery charge cycle (by reducing friction).
Clean, oled blades cut better and run cooler.
STORAGE
Replace the blade guard. Store clipper, battery pack and charger in carrying case in
a dry location.
MAINTENANCE
Other than the recommended cleaning and oiling of the blades, all maintenance
must be performed by an authorized facility. Refer to the Service Information
for a listing of Service Stations.

CONSERVER CES INSTRUCTIONS
NE PAS UTILISER LA TONDEUSE AVANT D’AVOIR LULES CONSIGNES D’UTILISATION.
PRÉPARATION POUR L’UTILISATION
Lors de la première utilisation ou après une longue période de non-utilisation, les
batteries ne seront pas chargées et l’action de la lame sera nulle ou faible. Pour
déterminer si la batterie est prête à être utilisée, placer tout simplemant celle-ci
dans ie chargeur. Si le voyant DEL est vent, la batterie est chargée á fond.
COMMENT RECHARGER LA BATTERIE
Une batterie déchargée, soit toute seule ou en eetant toujours attachée à la tondeuse
(c.-à-d.,lame/boîtier). Pour l’une ou l’autre méthode, simplement placer la batterie
dans le logement du chargeur et observer la couleur du voyant DEL. Note: lly a une
nervure sur la batterie et une autre correspondante dans le logement du chargeur
pour vous aider à bien orienter la batterie (c.-à-d., pour assurer une bonne polarisa-
tion) La légende ci-dessous vous aidera à déterminer l’état de votre batterie.
ÉTAT DU VOYANT DEL SIGNIFACTION
Rouge continu La batterie n’est pas chargée á fond,
maise le chargement est en cours.
Vert continu La batterie est chargée á fond, et prête
á être utilisée.
Rouge clignotant Défaut de batterie. Utiliser ne nouvelle
batterie.
RAPPELS SUR LE RECHARGEMENT
1. Votre chargeur de batterie produit un chargement ultramoderne qui maximise
la durée de vie des batteries, réduit les risques d’accident et minimise les
temps morts pour l’utilisateur de la tondeuse. Cet appareil est de loin
supérieur aux chargeurs de batteries typiques, mais occasionnellement
(tous les 3 à 4 mois), laissez la tondeuse décharger entièrement la batterie
jusqu’à ce que la moteur s’arrête. Recharger la batterie à fond. Si l’utilisation
de la tondeuse est très grande et que généralement vous déchargez
entiérement les batteries, la procédure ci-dessus n’est pas nécessaire.
