WARNING!
Do not use detergents, acids, alkaline
solutions, bleaches or solvents such as acetone to clean your
weed sweeper. These substances may damage the plastic
housing of the machine.
Regularly check the following:
• Brushes are clear and can spin freely – Accumulation
of debris around the brush could impair performance or
damage the motor. Inspect and clean the area around the
brush before every use.
• Safety devices are operating properly –
Do not tamper with or adjust safety devices.
• Bolts and screws are properly tightened –
Visually inspect the machine for any damage and ensure
that the cordless weed sweeper is in safe working
condition.
• Use only identical replacement parts –
Always replace damaged parts with original equipment
manufacturer's (OEM) parts only. Replacement parts that
do not meet the original equipment specifications may lead
to improper performance and compromise safety.
Battery & Charger
Safety Instructions
NOTE: This unit is the tool only. The battery and the charger
are not included. They must be purchased separately. Model
24V-CTC-CT is compatible with the 24V iON+ System batteries
and chargers. See page 12 for more information.
We pay a great deal of attention to the design of every battery
pack to ensure that we supply you with batteries that are safe,
durable and have a high energy density. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual cell is initially
formatted and its electrical characteristic curves are recorded.
This data is then used exclusively to be able to assemble the
best possible battery packs.
Despite all the safety precautions, caution must always be
exercised when handling batteries. The following points must
be obeyed at all times to ensure safe use. Safe use can only be
guaranteed if undamaged cells are used. Incorrect handling of
the battery pack can cause cell damage.
IMPORTANT! Analyses confirm that incorrect use and poor care
of high-performance batteries are the main factors responsible
for product damage and/or personal injury.
m
WARNING!
Use only approved replacement batteries;
+ other batteries may damage the power tool and cause it to
®
malfunction, which can lead to serious personal injury.
m
WARNING!
Do not use a battery pack or appliance that
is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery
pack except as indicated in the instructions for use and care.
Have your battery pack serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the battery pack is maintained.
m
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of injury, use only official
iON+ 24V designated chargers with the iON+ 24V battery pack.
The use of other batteries or chargers poses a risk of fire,
personal injury and damage. Do not wire a battery pack to a
power supply plug or car cigarette lighter, as such misuse will
permanently disable or damage the battery pack.
m
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
always unplug the charger before performing any cleaning or
maintenance. Do not allow water to flow into the charger. Use a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to reduce shock hazards.
1. Prevent unintentional starting – Ensure the trigger is not
pressed before connecting the battery pack, picking up or
carrying the power tool. Carrying the weed sweeper with
your finger on the trigger may result in an accident.
2. Avoid dangerous environments – Do not charge the
battery pack in rain, snow or in damp or wet locations.
Do not use the battery pack or charger in the presence of
explosive atmospheres (gaseous fumes, dust or flammable
materials) because sparks may be generated when inserting
or removing the battery pack, which could lead to a fire.
3. Charge in a well-ventilated area – Do not block the
charger vents. Keep them clear to allow for proper
ventilation. Do not allow smoking or open flames near a
charging battery pack. Vented gases may explode.
NOTE: The safe temperature range for the battery is
41°F (5°C) to 105°F (40.5°C). Do not charge the battery
outside in freezing weather; charge it at room temperature.
