3 Disconnect the power plug after charging is
completed.
(for safety and to reduce energy usage)
The charge indicator lamp continues to glow after charging is
complete. There is no indication to show that “charging is
complete”.
You cannot operate the trimmer while charging.
Notes
• If there is crackling noise on radios or other devices while
charging, charge the trimmer using a different household outlet.
• When the appliance is not used for 6 months or more, the battery
will weaken (leak battery uid, etc.). Fully charge the battery
once every 6 months.
• When charging the trimmer for the rst time or when it has not
been in use for more than 6 months, the charging time may
change or the lamp on the AC adaptor may not glow for a few
minutes, or the operating time may shorten. Please charge it for
more than 18 hours in such cases.
• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is
0 °C – 35 °C. Battery performance may decrease outside of the
recommended temperature.
• A full charge supplies enough power for approximately
40 minutes of use. (Based on dry using at 20 °C – 30 °C.)
The operating time may differ depending on the frequency of
use, the operating method and the ambient temperature.
• You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged.
However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is
completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on
factors such as how it is used and stored.
