OPERATION
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using the tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to
recharge. When the battery pack becomes discharged and
is hot, this will cause the green LED to come on instead of
the red LED. After 30 minutes, reinsert the battery pack in
the charger. If the green LED continues to remain on, return
battery pack to your nearest Authorized Service Center for
checking or replacing.
NOTE: This situation only occurs when continuous use of the
tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur
under normal circumstances. Refer to CHARGING A COOL
BATTERY PACK for normal recharging of batteries. If the
charger does not charge your battery pack under normal cir-
cumstances, return both the battery pack and charger to your
nearest Authorized Service Center for electrical check.
TO INSTALL BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
n Place the battery pack in the hedge trimmer. Align the
raised rib on the battery pack with groove in the hedge
trimmer’s battery port.
n Make sure the latches on each side of the battery pack
snap in place and that the battery pack is secured in the
hedge trimmer before beginning operation.
CAUTION:
When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised
rib on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the tool
and latches into place properly. Improper installa-
tion of the battery pack can cause damage to internal
components.
TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 3.
n Locate the latches on the side of the battery pack and
depress both sides to release the battery pack from the
hedge trimmer.
