so that metal objects can contact exposed battery terminals.
For example, do not place
battery in aprons, pockets,
tool boxes, product kit boxes,
drawers, etc. with loose nails,
screws, keys, etc. without battery cap.
A protective battery terminal cap is provided
for use whenever the battery is out of the tool

in charger or tool.
SAFETY WARNINGS
1. This manual contains important safety
and operating instructions.
2. Before using battery charger, read all
instructions and cautionary markings on
battery charger, battery pack, and product
using battery pack.
CHART FOR MINIMUM WIRE SIZE (AWG)
CAUTION
To reduce the risk of injury,
charge only Remington brand
batteries. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
3. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
4. Use of an attachment not recommended
or sold by Remington brand may result
in a risk of fi re, electric shock, or injury
to persons.
5. To reduce risk of damage to electric plug
and cord, pull by plug rather than cord
when disconnecting charger.
OF EXTENSION CORDS NAMEPLATE
RATING AMPS – 0 – 10.0
unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in
a risk of fi re, electric shock or electrocution.
a. Two-wire cords can be used with 2-
wire or 3-wire extension cords. Only
round jacketed extension cords should
be used, and we recommend that they
be listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(U.L.). If the extension is to be used
outside, the cord must be suitable for
outdoor use. Any cord marked for
outdoor use can also be used for indoor
work. The letters “W” or “WA” on the
cord jacket indicate that the cord is
suitable for outdoor use.
b. An extension cord must have adequate
wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety, and to prevent loss
of power and overheating. The smaller
the gauge number of the wire, the
greater the capacity of the cable; that
is, 16 gauge has more capacity than
18 gauge. When using more than one
extension to make up the total length,
be sure each extension contains at least
the minimum wire size.

7. Use only the supplied charger (P/N
121397-01)when charging. The use of
any other charger could damage the battery or create a hazardous condition.
8. Use only one charger when charging.
9. Use only Remington RB18V1 or
RBE18V1 battery packs with this product.
10. Do not attempt to open the charger. There
are no customer serviceable parts inside.
If damaged, call DESA Power Tools
Technical Service.
11. DO NOT incinerate the battery pack
even if they are severely damaged or
completely worn out. The batteries can
explode in a fi re.
12. A small leakage of liquid from the battery
pack cells may occur under extreme usage, charging, or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However,
if the outer seal is broken and this leakage
gets on your skin:
• Wash quickly with soap and water.
• Neutralize with a mild acid such as
lemon juice or vinegar.
• If the battery liquid gets in your eyes,
fl ush them with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
MEDICAL NOTE: The liquid is
a 25-35% solution of potassium hydroxide.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
CHARGING BATTERY
The battery pack is not fully
charged at the factory. Before
attempting to charge the battery pack, thoroughly read all
Safety Instructions.
The charger is designed to use standard household 120 volt 60 Hz power.
1. Plug cord from charger into charger base.
(See Figure 1)
Figure1 - Plug Charger into Base
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.
4. Unplug charger. Remove the charger by
sliding off (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.
Figure 3 - Remove Charger
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.
down 30 minutes before charging after
using the blower/sweeper. 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 performance can be obtained if battery pack
is charged when air temperature is about
75°F (24°C).
Allow the battery to cool
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 properly
• 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 previously.
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.
