CHARGING YOUR POLE PRUNER
The battery pack for your pole pruner has been shipped
in a low charge condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore, you should charge it prior to use.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (pruning fol-
lowed by recharging) for them to fully charge.
TO CHARGE
■ Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
■ Make sure power supply is normal household
voltage, 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only.
■ Connect charger to power supply.
■ Place battery pack in charger.
See Figure 10
. Align
raised rib on battery pack with groove in charger.
■ Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with contacts in
charger. When properly connected, red light will turn
on.
■ Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger
will come on. This indicates charger is in control
charge mode and should switch to fast charge mode
within 5 minutes. When charger is in fast charge
mode the red light will come on. If after a period of
15 minutes the yellow and green lights remain on,
remove the battery pack, wait 1 minute and reinsert
battery pack in charger. If the yellow and green
lights continue to remain on an additional 15 min-
utes, the battery pack is damaged and will not
accept charge.
■ When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the
red light will turn off and the green light will turn on.
■ After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is re-
quired to be fully charged. A minimum charge time
of 1 to 1-1/2 hours is required to recharge a com-
pletely discharged tool.

■ The battery pack will become slightly warm to the

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR RECHARGING
HOT BATTERIES
When using your pole pruner continuously, the batteries
in your battery pack will become hot. You should let a
hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30
minutes before attempting to recharge.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use
of your pole pruner causes the batteries to become hot.
It does not occur under normal circumstances. Refer to
“Charging Your Pole Pruner” earlier in this manual, for
normal recharging of batteries. If the charger/charging
assembly does not charge your battery pack under
normal circumstances, return both the battery pack and
charger/charging assembly to your nearest Homelite
Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
