Storing the charger

Remove battery pack from the charger.

Disconnect charger from power source.

Store in a dry place.

Keep out of reach of children or pets.

See “Maintenance and Cleaning” for more information.

Transporting the trimmer/ edger

Prepare the trimmer/edger as described in “Storing the trimmer/edger” before shipping.

Transporting the battery pack

Observe national regulations when shipping lithium ion batteries. Special package labeling may be required.

Battery pack disposal

Do not dispose of battery pack in household garbage or incinerate. Local waste management and recycling agencies have information on proper recycling or disposal instructions. Battery packs can be collected in the United States or Canada through Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation. OREGON® has already paid the costs involved to recycle battery packs. Return end of life battery packs to participating retailer or recycling center. Return locations and more information can be found at www.call2recycle.org or 1-800-8BATTERY.

Battery safety

Danger: Failure to follow these safety rules can cause the battery pack to leak hazardous chemicals, overheat, emit smoke, burst, flare, explode, and/or ignite.

Caution: Do not dispose of the battery pack in the household waste or fire. Lithium ion battery packs should be recycled by a local authorized recycler.

Caution: Do not expose battery pack to excessive heat, such as the interior of a vehicle in hot weather. Such exposure can cause a loss in performance and/or service life. Do not attempt to re- charge a non-rechargeable battery pack.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. This can damage safety features.

Do not connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals with metal objects or store the battery pack with metal objects such as coins or screws. This can cause short-circuiting and generate enough heat to cause burns.

Do not incinerate the battery pack or expose to excessive heat. This can melt insulation or damage safety features.

Do not use, charge, or store near heat higher than 176°F (80°C). This can cause overheating and internal short- circuiting.

Do not expose to extremely wet conditions. This can damage safety features, cause extremely high current and voltage charging, and lead to abnormal chemical reactions.
