RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
4. Unplug charger. Remove the battery pack
by sliding out (See Figure 3).
5. Place the battery pack in the tool and be
certain that it is inserted fully into the tool
cavity until it “clicks” into place.
The charger is designed to use standard house-
hold 120 volt 60 Hz power
1. Plug cord from charger into charger base.
(See Figure 1)

The battery pack is not fully

charged at the factory. Before

attempting to charge the bat-

tery pack, thoroughly read all

Safety Instructions.

2. Plug the charger into any standard 120
Volt 60 Hz electrical outlet. Important:
Do not charge by means of an engine
generator or DC power source. Use only
120V AC.
3. Slide the charger onto the battery pack as
shown in Figure 2. The LED will light up,
Let the battery pack charge until red LED
turns off. After the initial charge, under
normal usage, your battery pack should
be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. After normal usage, your battery pack
should be fully charged in 3 to 9 hours. If
the battery pack is run-down completely,
it may take up to 9 hours to become fully
charged. Your battery pack was sent from
the factory in an uncharged condition.
For best performance charge battery until
red LED turns off. Allow the battery to
cool down 30 minutes before charging
after using the trimmer/edger. NOTE: A
hot battery placed in the charger will not
charge.
2. DO NOT charge the battery pack in an
air temperature below 40°F (4,5 °C) or
above 105°F (40,5 °C). This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the
battery pack. Longest life and best per-
formance can be obtained if battery pack
is charged when air temperature is about
75°F (24°C).
3. While charging, the charger may hum
and become warm to touch. This is a
normal condition and does not indicate a
problem.
4. If the battery pack does not charge prop-
erly
• Check current at receptacle by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance.
• Check to see if receptacle is connected
to a light switch which turns power off
when you turn out the lights.
• Move charger and battery pack to a
surrounding air temperature of 40°F
(4,5°C) to 105°F (40,5 °C)
• If the receptacle and temperature are
OK, and you do not get proper charging
contact DESA Power Tools.
5. The battery pack should be recharged
when it fails to produce suffi cient power
on jobs which were easily done previ-
ously. DO NOT CONTINUE using
product with its battery pack in a depleted
condition.
6. To prolong battery life, avoid leaving
the battery pack on charger for extended
periods of time (over 30 days without
use). Although overcharging is not a
safety concern, it can signifi cantly reduce
overall battery life.
7. The battery pack will reach optimum
performance after being cycled 5 times
during normal usage. There is no need to
run the batteries down completely before
recharging. Normal usage is the best
method of discharging and recharging the
batteries.
