WHEN USING YOUR CHARGER:
The shear and its charger are specifically
designed to work together. DO NOT attempt to
charge the shear with any other type of charger. DO NOT attempt to charge any other type
of cordless tool with the shear charger.
DO NOT charge shear when temperature
is below +40 ° or above +1 20 °. This is very
important!
DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry charger or shear by the cord or yank it to
disconnect the charger from a receptacle.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
DO NOT operate a damaged
charger. Have damaged
cords or plugs replaced immediately.
Never expose charger to weather; use indoors only.
The charger is designed to operate on standard household electrical
power (1 20 volts). Do
not attempt to use it on any other voltage!
PREPARING TO OPERATE:
THE BATTERYIN YOUR NEW GRASS SHEAR IS NOT FULLYCHARGED!
First, read the Safety Rules. Then follow the "Important
Charging
Notes" and "Charge the
Battery" sections.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1.
Longest life and best performance
can be obtained
if the batteries are charged
at normal
room temperatures.
2.
While charging,
the charger will normally become warm to the touch.
3.
If the batteries do not charge properly:
a. Check house current at receptacle by plugging
in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Check to see if receptacle is connected to a light switch which turns power off when you
turn out the lights.
c. If house current is okay and you do not get proper charging,
contact your nearest
Black & Decker Service Center.
4.
The grass shear should be recharged
when it fails to produce sufficient power onjobs
which
were done easily previously. Do not continue to use the unit under these conditions.
Repeat
the charging
procedure.
5.
Unplug your shear's charger from the power supply before disconnecting
the charger from
the shear. Unplug charger before attempting to clean.
6.
Battery life is dependent on usage, storage temperature
and time. Replacement battery packs
are available
and should only be replaced by Black & Decker Service Centers or Authorized
Service Centers.
CHARGE THE BATTERY(Figure1)
1.
Attach charger cord to shear.
2.
Plug charger into any 120-Volt receptacle. Your shear is now on charge.
Z_ CAUTION:
This Charger can be used only with 60 cycle,
11 5-120 AC voltage.
3.
Recharging the shear will require on the average about 1 6 hours for it to reach full capacity.
The shear will not overcharge
and can be left on charge indefinitely
throughout
the cutting
season. One 7-hour charge will restore about 1/2 the battery capacity. A 4-hour charge will
give about 8-10 minutes of operation.
Continuous charging
may slightly shorten overall
battery life, but will not diminish the running time per charge.
