household outlet.

• The charging time differs depending on the rated voltage.

(See page 16.)

• Check that the charge indicator lamp glows.

3

Disconnect the plug after charging is completed.

(for safety and to reduce energy usage)

• The charge indicator lamp continues to glow after

charging is complete. There is no indication to show that

stored.

• Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0 –

35 °C (32 – 95 °F). Battery performance may decrease

under extremely low or high temperatures.

• A full charge supplies enough power for approximately

50 minutes of use. (Based on dry using at 20 – 30 °C

(68 – 86 °F).) The operating time may differ depending

on the frequency of use and the operating method.

• When charging the trimmer for the rst time or when

it has not been in use for more than 6 months, the

operating time may shorten. Please charge it for more

than 30 hours in such cases.

• The charge indicator lamp glows and stays on until the

plug is disconnected from a household outlet.

authorized service centre.

Charge the battery for

approximately 30 hours

continuously to rejuvenate it.

If few uses remain even after

end of battery life.)

Contact an authorized service

center for repair.

The trimmer cannot be

charged.

Blade life varies according to the frequency and period of use

of the trimmer.

For example, the blade life is approximately 3 years when

using the trimmer for 5 minutes 10 times a month. Replace

the blades if cutting efciency reduces substantially despite

proper maintenance.

Battery life

Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of

use. If the battery is charged once a month, the service life will

be approximately 3 years.

If the operating time is signicantly shorter even after a full

charge, the battery has reached the end of its life.
