GUiDELiNES FOR BATTERY pACK AND CHARGER USE
1. Your clipper, battery pack, and charger function as several interacting electrical systems. Good
electrical contact must be maintained in order for the motor to deliver full power, the battery to
charge properly, and the Refresh feature to operate. Limited or erratic performance caused by
dirt or age can be restored in the majority of the cases if you do the following:
A. problem: Clipper motor starts and stops as if there was a loose electrical connection.
Solution: Remove the battery pack from the clipper. Examine the battery pack opening in the
clipper. Locate the two sets of motor contacts. Gently squeeze the metal leaves until they are
about 1/16" apart using a long pliers or similar. DO NOT squeeze the metal leaves completely
together or the battery pack will not re-insert.
B. problem: Charger does not fully charge the battery.
Solution: Clean the battery pack bottom contacts (the portion inserted into the charging
pocket). Clean the charger contacts. Re-align the charger contacts. To clean the battery pack
contacts, rub gently with a pencil eraser until they are brightly polished. Use a cotton swab and
91% isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue or dirt. Denatured alcohol can also be used. Use
care, as both products are flammable. Clean the charger contacts in the same way UNpLUG
CHARGER FiRST. Make sure eraser dust and cleaners do not get inside the charger base. To
re-align the charger contacts, again make sure it is unplugged, and gently pull the metal loops
on the four contacts forward SLiGHTLY. Do not severely bend, deform, or damage the contacts.
C. problem: Charger does not exit the Refresh mode.
Solution: Clean the battery pack bottom contacts as noted above. Clean and re-align the
charger contacts as noted above.
D. problem: Charger lights flash on and off as clipper or battery is moved side to side in the
charger pocket.
Solution: Re-align the charger contacts as noted above.
