Operation
WARNING: When battery charge runs out after continuous
use or exposure to direct sunlight or heat, allow time for
the tool to cool down before re-charging to achieve the full
charge.
WARNING: The charger and battery pack are specically
designed to work together so do not attempt to use any
other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into
your charger or battery pack connections because an
electrical failure and hazard will occur.
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
NOTE: The battery in your new tool is not charged when it leaves the plant. Therefore it
must be fully charged before using the rst time.
If the battery pack is very hot you must remove your battery pack from the charger and
allow your battery pack to cool rst to ambient temperature and then recharging can be
started.
To prevent damage to the battery pack, when charge runs out, please charge the battery to
reach full or no less than half charge before storage.
If the tool will not be used for long periods of time, charge the battery pack every 3-6 months.
CHARGING PROCEDURE (See Fig. A)
1) Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2) Slide the battery pack into the charger, the light will begin ashing green to indicate the
charging process has started.
3) When charging is completed, the light will turn solid green. The pack is now fully
charged; unplug the charger and remove the battery pack.
A
WARNING: Do not use the
charger outdoors or expose it to
wet or damp conditions. Water
entering the charger will increase
the risk of electric shock.

CHARGING INDICATOR
This charger is designed to detect some problems that can arise with battery packs.
Indicator lights indicate problems (see table below).
DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACKS
This charger will detect a defective battery pack. When a defective battery pack is
inserted into the charger, the charger will try to repair it. This process will last about 30
minutes (the light will be green and ash). If the repair is successful, the charger will
automatically begin to charge the battery pack to the highest capacity possible (the light
will be green and ash). If the light becomes solid red, the battery pack is dead.
NOTE: Repaired battery packs are still usable but should not be expected to perform as
much work as new battery packs.
BATTERY TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
This charger has a battery temperature protection feature. When the charger detects
a battery pack that is too hot or cold (the light will be red and ash), it automatically
activates the protection circuit and suspends charging until the battery pack has reached
the correct temperature. The charging process will then automatically begin (the light will
be green and ash). This feature ensures maximum battery life.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES:
1. For a new battery or a battery that has been in storage for some time, please
recharge the battery before use. If you want to store the battery for a long time,
please fully charge the battery pack to ensure maximum battery life.
2. Longer life and better performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged
when the air temperature is between 18 to 24 oC (65 to 75 oF). Do not charge the
battery pack in air temperatures below 0 oC (32 oF), or above 40 oC (104 oF). This is
important as it can prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
3. Never freeze your charger or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
4. When the battery pack fails to produce sufcient power on jobs that were previously
done easily, please recharge your battery, do not continue to use under this
condition. You may charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.

5. When charging it is normal that the charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch.
6. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at power outlet by plugging in another appliance.
b. Plug and unplug to check whether the charger is ok.
c. Check whether the battery has been damaged.
d. Move the charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 18 to 24 oC (65 to 75 oF).
e. If the charging problem persists, contact Yardworks®at 1.866.523.5218.
f. Under certain conditions, when the charger is plugged into the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials
of a conductive nature such as metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the charger
or before attempting to clean.
Operation
Your tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. Never use water or chemical cleaners to
clean your charger. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your charger in a dry place.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
WARNING: Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always remove
the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or performing
any maintenance.
