(2)Regarding the temperature of the rechargeable battery.

The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as shown in Table 2, and batteries that have become hot should be cooled for a while before being recharged.

(3)Regarding recharging time

Depending on the combination of the charger and batteries, the charging time will become as shown in

Table 3.

NOTE

The charging time may vary according to temperature and power source voltage.

4.Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the receptacle

5.Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery

NOTE

After charging, pull out batteries from the charger first, and then keep the batteries properly.

How to make the batteries perform longer.

(1)Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted.

When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter.

(2)Avoid recharging at high temperatures.

A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery

and recharge it after it has cooled for a while.

CAUTION

￿When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

￿If the battery is recharged when it is warm due to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot lamp blinks.

The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

￿When the pilot lamp flickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery installation hole. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

1.Switch ON (Fig. 7)

The blade starts moving by pulling the trigger of the main handle while holding the sub handle.

2.Switch OFF (Fig. 7)

The blade stops moving by releasing the trigger of the main handle or the sub handle.

3.Blade case (Fig. 8)

When the hedge trimmer blade is to be attached to or

removed from the tool, or when the shear is not used, place the blade in the blade case to prevent injury.

WARNING

Be sure to turn the tool off and remove the battery from the tool before attaching and removing the blade case or blade cover.

CAUTION

To prevent injury, take care when placing the blade in the blade case.

REPLACING THE BLADE

The blade is a consumable that has to be replaced with a new blade when it loses sharpness.

Follow the steps below to replace the blade.

The tool shown in the illustration is the hedge trimmer, and it is used in examples to explain features.

Before replacement, turn the switch on and off until the teeth in the upper blade are positioned over the openings between the teeth in the lower blade.

At this time, be careful of the moving blade.

WARNING

Be sure to turn off the power switch and remove the battery from the tool to prevent accidents.

CAUTION

Before blade replacement, be sure to use gloves and attach the blade case or blade cover to prevent the blade from coming into direct contact with your hands or face.
