OPERATION
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
Briggs & Stratton 48V lithium-ion battery packs are designed with features
that protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life.
If the tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and resume operation.
If the tool still does not work, the battery needs to be recharged.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
The lithium-ion battery pack can be used in environment temperatures down
to -20°C (-4°F). Put the battery pack on a tool and use the tool in a light duty
application. After about a minute, the pack will warm up and begin operating
normally.
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent possible
problems. Therefore, you should charge prior to first use. If the charger
does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, return both
the battery pack and charger to your nearest Authorized Service Center for
electrical check.
• Charge the battery pack only with the recommended charger.
• Connect the charger to a power supply. For approved power sources, refer
to the operator's manual for the charger.
• Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning
operation.
• Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery pack
engage properly with contacts in the charger.
• The battery pack may become slightly warm to the touch while charging.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
• Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or
cold. They will work best at normal room temperature.
• When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power
supply and remove the battery pack.
