Preparation
Charging the trimmer
- Make sure that the trimmer is turned off.
1 Connect the appliance plug to the appliance socket.
2 Plug in the adaptor into a household outlet.
- Check that the charge status lamp
- Charging is completed after approx. 1 hour.
3 Disconnect the adaptor when the charge status lamp stops glowing.
(for safety and to reduce energy usage)
If you remove and reinsert the appliance plug while charging, the charge status lamp glows and turns off after approximately 5 seconds.
Notes
- If there is crackling noise on radios or other devices while charging, charge the trimmer using a different household outlet.
- When the appliance is not used for 6 months or more, the battery will weaken (leak battery fluid, etc.). Fully charge the battery once every 6 months.
-
When charging the trimmer for the first time or when it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the lamp on the main body may not glow for a few minutes, or the operating time may shorten. Please charge it for more than 8 hours in such cases.
-
Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0°C - 35°C . The charging time may change or battery performance may decrease outside of the recommended temperature.
- A full charge supplies enough power for approximately 50 minutes of use. (Based on dry using at 20°C - 30°C .) The operating time may differ depending on the frequency of use, the operating method and the ambient temperature.
- You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged. However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on factors such as how it is used and stored.
AC operation
If you connect the AC adaptor to the trimmer in the same way as for charging, and turn on the power, you can use it.
- If the remaining battery is too low, the blades may move slowly or stop, even with the AC operation. In this case, charge the battery for 1 minute or more.
- The battery will be discharged, even with the AC operation.
Using the trimmer
- Check that the blades are not damaged or deformed before use.
- Apply the oil to the blade before and after each use. (See page 11.)
