GUIDELINES FOR BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER USE

1.Your clipper, battery pack, and charger function as several interacting electrical systems. Good electrical contact must be maintained in order for the motor to deliver full power, the battery to charge properly, and the Refresh feature to operate. Limited or erratic performance caused by dirt or age can be restored in the majority of the cases if you do the following:

A.Problem: Clipper motor starts and stops as if there was a loose electrical connection.

Solution: Remove the battery pack from the clipper. Examine the battery pack opening in the clipper. Locate the two sets of motor contacts. Gently squeeze the metal leaves until they are about 1/16" apart using a long pliers or similar. DO NOT squeeze the metal leaves completely together or the battery pack will not re-insert.

B.Problem: Charger does not fully charge the battery.

Solution: Clean the battery pack bottom contacts (the portion inserted into the charging pocket). Clean the charger contacts. Re-align the charger contacts. To clean the battery pack contacts, rub gently with a pencil eraser until they are brightly polished. Use a cotton swab and 91% isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue or dirt. Denatured alcohol can also be used. Use care, as both products are flammable. Clean the charger contacts in the same way UNPLUG CHARGER FIRST. Make sure eraser dust and cleaners do not get inside the charger base. To re-align the charger contacts, again make sure it is unplugged, and gently pull the metal loops on the four contacts forward SLIGHTLY. Do not severely bend, deform, or damage the contacts.

C.Problem: Charger does not exit the Refresh mode.

Solution: Clean the battery pack bottom contacts as noted above. Clean and re-align the charger contacts as noted above.

D.Problem: Charger lights flash on and off as clipper or battery is moved side to side in the charger pocket.

Solution: Re-align the charger contacts as noted above.
