switch and take care when putting the machine down that nothing can operate the switch.
Carefully select an extension lead.
If the tool is designed for use outdoors use an extension lead that is also suitable for that
environment. When using an extended lead select one capable of handling the current (amps)
drawn by the machine in use. Fully extend the lead regardless of the distance between the power
supply and the tool. Excess current (amps) and a coiled extension lead will both cause the cable
to heat up and can result in fire.

5.2 RESIDUAL RISK
Important note:
extensive instructions of safe working with power tools, every power tool involves a certain
residual risk which can not be completely excluded by safety mechanisms. Power tools must
therefore always be operated with caution!
Although the safety instructions and operating manuals for our tools contain
5.3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY PACKS/CHARGERS
1. Do not use the charger in adverse weather conditions.
2. Prior to plugging the charger into the supply, check that the plug and the cable are in good
repair. If either are damaged, have the defective item replaced immediately by a suitably
qualified person. If the casing of the battery charger is damaged, it is good policy to have the
charger checked over by a suitably qualified person.
3. Only use a correctly rated mains outlet to provide power. Do not plug into site generators,
engine generators or D.C. sources. Do not use a mains socket outlet that is not switched.
4. Set up the charger in a safe place where the cable won’t be knocked, tripped over, stepped on,
etc., and where it is well ventilated. Make sure the ventilation slots in the charger case are not
obstructed.
5. Before charging the battery, read the instructions.
6. Do not charge any other product with the charger. Any other application is considered misuse.

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.4 CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY (CHARGER)
Make sure the power supply information on the machine’s rating plate are compatible with the
power supply you intend to connect it to.
This charger comes supplied with a UK standard 3 pin plug. It is designed for connection to a
domestic power supply rated at 230V AC.
This charger is Class II
on the rating label and compatible with the plug fitted.
If an extension lead is required, use an approved and compatible lead rated for this appliance.
Follow all the instructions supplied with the extension lead. If using an extension lead, follow the
instructions that came with your lead regarding maximum load while cable is wound, if in doubt
ensure that the entire cable is unwound. Using a coiled extension lead will generate heat which
could melt the lead and cause a fire.
†
Double insulated : This product requires no earth connection as supplementary insulation is
applied to the basic insulation to protect against electric shock in the event of failure of the basic
insulation.
Apart from replacing the fuse in the plug, no other electrical work is recommended on this product.

If the battery amperage rating is not stated or you are unsure about the rating please see the table
below for some typical readings.

Diesel - - 60 - 90Ah 60 - 90Ah 60 - 110Ah
8.4 CHARGING TIMES
The charging time depends on the batteries charge condition. A partially charged battery will take
less time to charge than a fully discharged battery. The approximate charging time for a battery
can be calculated using the following equation:-
Capacity in Ah (battery)
Charging time/hours =
Charger output (Amps)
For example, a 45Ah battery would require approximately 11 hours to charge from a 4.2A battery
charger. Battery icon on display (8) indicates charge status of battery.
The above table is to give an average charge time.
If the charger you are using is an automatic or smart charger then it will automatically turn off or
revert to “float” charge status to maintain the battery in its fully charged state.
After an extended period of charging the back of this machine can
become warm. This machine must be used on a non flammable surface.
