MAINTENANCE
BATTERIES
The battery pack for your pole pruner is equipped with
nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries. Length of
service from each charging will depend on the type of
work you are doing.
The batteries in this tool have been designed to provide
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries,
they will eventually wear out. Do not disassemble
battery pack and attempt to replace the batteries.
Handling of these batteries, especially when wearing
rings and jewelry, could result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest
the following:
■ Store and charge your batteries in a location where
the temperature is above 50°F but less than 100°F.
■ Never store batteries in a discharged condition.
Recharge them immediately after they are dis-
charged.
■ All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher
the temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If
you store your pole pruner for long periods of time
without using it, recharge it every month or two. This
practice will prolong battery life.
