PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION

The danger of Lithium batteries
Lithium batteries have high energy density and provide high performance in their application Therefore, all safety instructions must be followed carefully when using, charging
and storing lithium batteries. Due to their performance, all lithium batteries are potentially hazardous when damaged or used improperly, and may pose a serious RISK OF FIRE, for example, there is a risk during charging in these cases:

• The battery was fully discharged and was not recharged in a short time. – Lithium batteries should be recharged within 24 hours after use, especially if they have been completely or nearly flat.

• Charging is performed at temperatures below 4 °C.

• Charging below 4 °C causes a chemical reaction in the battery cells which can cause permanent damage, explosion, or fire during charging

• The battery was in contact with liquid. (Salt water is especially risky.)

• Exposure to liquids can cause internal corrosion, cell damage, or an internal battery management system (BMS).
  BMS protects the battery from overcharging, deep discharge, or unbalanced cell charging. Therefore, a cell or BMS failure may present a risk of fire during charging

• Operating or charging a battery that has been damaged by dropping or shipping.

• If a crack or any mechanical damage occurs on the battery cover, the battery must not be used or charged.

• Use of a charger other than the original one (supplied with the device)

• Each battery charger charges a specific voltage, and current and has some other specific parameters to manage the charging of the battery. These parameters will vary significantly when using a different charger (for example, for different types of batteries – SLA, NiCd, NiMH, etc.).

PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION

Therefore, never use any charger other than the one supplied with the device. Do not use for charging dry cells that are commonly used in household appliances.
These batteries may break and cause personal injury and damage to property.

• NEVER LEAVE THE DEVICE ON DIRECT SUN OR IN PLACES WITH HIGH temperatures (temperature above 50 °C / e.g. behind car window in summer)!!!
• Temperature higher than the critical limit can result in overheating of lithium batteries, their explosion, and subsequent flare-up. This warning applies generally to ALL devices in which lithium batteries are used.

Service

• Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. Any work not listed in this manual MAY BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTRES.
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

OPERATION

Charging the device
The supplied battery is only partially charged. Before initial use, fully charge the battery.
After the first charge, we recommend fully discharging the battery and the full charge/ discharge process to be repeated once or twice to “format” the battery pack. Perform this charge as soon as possible after the battery has been discharged and cooled.

To ensure the long life of the battery, it must be maintained carefully

• The battery must be recharged
  – before using the machine for the first time after purchase
  – often, during use/season, usually after using the machine
  – before leaving the machine disused for a long period;
  – during long-term storage
  – before starting up the machine after a long period of disuse

• The discharged battery must be recharged as soon as possible. Let a hot battery cartridge cools down before charging it

• Recharge the accumulators in time, before they are discharged fully, otherwise, the accumulators can be damaged permanently (irreversibly).
  It is ideal to recharge the battery after each consumption

• The lithium-ion battery can be charged in any state of charge, and the the charging process can be interrupted at any time without harming the battery (no memory effect)

• An unused battery loses capacity faster than a battery that is being used.

• Charge the battery pack in a dry place at room temperature at 5 °C–40 °C.

• It is possible that the battery and/or charger can become moderately warmer during charging, this is normal and doesn’t indicate a fault

• Never cover the charger.

• Significantly reduced machine operating times and accelerated battery charging times indicate that the battery has a reduced capacity and should be replaced.

Caution! Never charge the battery in an explosive or flammable environment and near flammable liquids. Don’t carry out charging on a slightly flammable substrate (such as paper, textiles, etc.) when the battery is removed. Never charge a battery that is visibly damaged or its filling is leaking.

The charger was designed to charge the battery packs between 0 °C and 50 °C. If the battery pack is too cold or too hot, the charger will not charge. Allow the battery to warm up or cool down.
Battery status indicators
When charging for the first time, the device should be charged for at least 6 hours.
Charging status indicator
Press the power button once (Fig. C) – front – to see the battery status. The battery status 1s is indicated by four blue LEDs below the power button as follows:

• One LED =flat= do not use and recharge immediately
• Two LEDs = 25-50% capacity= recharge as soon as possible
• Three LEDs= 50-75% capacity= charge if to be used as starting aid
• Four LEDs = 75-100% capacity= fully or almost fully charged

We recommend having the battery fully charged if the device is to be used as a starting aid. This will significantly increase your chances of success.

Use as a starting aid(FIG. J)

CAUTION! Always use this device for this function only with the supplied SMART Cable. NEVER use other cables and alternative solutions!
To achieve optimum performance, do not store this device at temperatures below 10°C before using as the starting aid. Never charge or start a vehicle with a frozen car battery.

1. Read these operating instructions and the operating manual/safety manual provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

2. Use the starting aid only in a well-ventilated area.

3. Always wear safety glasses when working with batteries. Use eye protection.

4. Connect the SMART Cable connector to the device. The connector is under the cover on the side of the device. Make sure the cable is securely connected after connecting. The Smart Cable will beep several times and all LEDs will flash (status check). Then the blue LED starts flashing to indicate that the device is in standby mode.

5. Switch off the ignition completely before connecting the device to the vehicle.

6. Connect the positive (red +) collet to the positive clamp of the car battery (or the positive connection point as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer).

7. Connect the negative (black-) collet to the negative clamp of the car battery, to the vehicle frame (ground), or to another negative connection point, as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
   CAUTION! Make sure the connecting cable is not within range of moving engine parts (belts, fan, alternator, etc.). Both the device and the SMART Cable must be placed on a non-flammable surface.

8. When connected, the SMART Cab|e eva|uates the connection.
   – a) If the light on the SMART Cable turns green, the battery is within the normal voltage range. You have 30 seconds to start the vehicle after connecting. Then the device returns to standby mode.
   – b) If the light on the SMART Cable turns red and a warning buzzer sounds, it indicates a reverse battery connection. Disconnect the vehicle cables immediately and connect them correctly!
   – c) If the connection is made correctly, but the red LED still lights up on the SMART Cable and the cable beeps, the car battery is discharged below 10V. You can get around this warning by pressing the Override button on the SMART Cable side for 4 seconds. The green LED lights up. You have 30 seconds to start the vehicle. Then the device returns to standby mode.

9. Nobody should be within range of the battery while starting the vehicle.

10. Try to start the vehicle (turn the key).
    CAUTION! If the vehicle fails to start within 6 seconds, do not attempt to start it again immediately, allow the device to cool for 3 minutes. Try again only after the 3 minutes.
    NOTE: The device may not be able to help you in the first attempt to start the vehicle in very cold weather. We recommend repeating. You have a better chance of starting on the second and third attempts because the device warms up the car battery and increases your chances of starting. However; do not try to start the vehicle after an unsuccessful fourth attempt the device will no longer have enough power.

11. When the vehicle is started, the blue LED lights up on the SMART Cable and the warning signal beeps briefly.

12. Disconnect the negative (black) collet (-).

13. Disconnect the positive (red) collet (+).

14. Disconnect the SMART Cable from the device and store it for future use.
