the battery can be charged with the charging stand or by plugging power cord directly into the clipper:
• To charge with the charging stand
, plug wall adapter into 100-240V, 50/60 cycle AC electrical current or
as noted on the unit. Make sure the proper input plug is attached to the wall adapter. Plug power cord
directly into back of charger stand. Place clipper into the form fitting pocket on charger. Both power cord
and clipper are "keyed" to fit only one way. The clipper has electrical contacts that touch electrical contacts
in the charger. The weight of the unit will give sufficient contact.
• To charge by plugging power cord directly into the clipper
, plug wall adapter into 100-240V, 50/60 cycle
AC electrical current or as noted on the unit. Make sure the proper input plug is attached to the wall adapter.
Plug power cord directly into outlet on bottom of clipper. Power cord is "keyed" to fit only one way.
Before using your clipper for the first time, make sure the battery has been pre-charged for 2 hours. Note
that it is normal for the clipper and wall adapter to feel warm to the touch when charging. This is especially
true if the battery has been deeply discharged as indicated by the Battery Indicator Light turning red (see
below) while the clipper is running in battery operation. the clipper will only charge when the switch is in
the Off position. To use the clipper, move the switch button forward to the ON position. To stop and/or
charge the clipper, return the switch button back to the OFF position.
You may keep the power cord plugged into the charging stand or clipper when not in use. The clipper has a
lithium ion battery that cannot be damaged by overcharging. However, we recommend that the power cord
be unplugged if not in use for more than a week.

The Battery Indicator Light has a dual purpose. It indicates both
battery charging status while the clipper is charging and battery
charge level while the clipper is in use.
When charging the clipper either in the stand, or by direct power
cord connection, the Battery Indicator Light on the clipper will turn
red indicating the battery is receiving a charge. The Battery Indicator
Light will turn green when the clipper is fully charged (Diagram C).
Note that the clipper can be removed and used at any time while
charging without harming the clipper or battery.
When the clipper is running on battery power, a green Battery
Indicator Light means the battery has a strong charge. The light will
turn yellow as the battery starts to run down, indicating the battery
has only a partial charge remaining. When the light turns red, the
battery may not hold enough charge to complete a large clipping
job, and should be recharged as soon as possible. When only a few
minutes of charge remain, the red light will flash and the clipper
motor speed will gently pulse. When this happens, the clipper is
about to automatically power OFF to preserve the battery.
Automatically powering off protects the lithium-ion battery and is
not a malfunction. The clipper will resume normal battery powered
operation when it is recharged. If the clipper powers OFF in the
middle of a clipping job, the power cord can always be attached to
continue use in corded operation. When the clipper is running with
the power cord attached, the Battery Indicator Light will remain
green to show the clipper is running at full power, even if the battery is partially or fully discharged.

After a period of use, the blue light on the clipper will turn ON and flash as a reminder that the clipper needs
oil. After you have oiled your clipper, simply turn the clipper OFF to reset the light. You may also oil your
clipper more often than the light indicates. The light can be reset at anytime by turning the clipper OFF and
then back ON again.
