(for safety and to reduce energy usage)
 
• The charge indicator lamp () continues to glow after 
charging is complete. There is no indication to show that 
“charging is complete”.
Notes
•  If there is crackling noise on radios or other devices while 
charging, charge the clipper using a different household outlet.
•  When the appliance is not used for 6 months or more, the battery 
will weaken (leak battery fluid, etc.). Fully charge the battery 
once every 6 months.
•  When charging the clipper for the first time or when it has not 
been in use for more than 6 months, the lamp on the main body 
may not glow for a few minutes, or the operating time may 
shorten. Please charge it for more than 16 hours in such cases.
•  Recommended ambient temperature for charging is 0 °C – 35 °C. 
Battery performance may decrease outside of the recommended 
temperature.
•  1 full charge will provide approximately 40 minutes of continuous 
operation. • 
You can charge the battery before it is completely discharged. 
However, it is recommended to charge when the battery is 
completely discharged. The battery life depends strongly on 
factors such as how it is used and stored.
AC operation
If you connect the AC adaptor to the clipper in the same way as for 
charging, and turn on the power, you can use it.
