• Do not operate the Blower if it does not start normally or stop normally with the Power Switch.

Handling the Battery Pack Safely

• Always charge the Battery Pack indoors, never charge it the rain or in wet conditions.
• Use only the DR® 62V Charger with DR® 62V Battery Packs. Do not use the DR® 62V Charger with Battery Packs from other manufacturers or other DR® products. Use of a different Charger may cause a fire or explosion.
• Never attempt to alter or open the Battery Pack or Charger. There are no customer serviceable parts inside. Use normal household voltage (110 volts) when charging the Battery Pack. Plug the Charger Power Supply directly into the electrical outlet.
• Exercise care in handling the Battery Pack in order not to short-circuit it with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. When short-circuited, the Battery Pack or conductor may overheat and cause burns.
• Electrolyte leakage from the Battery Pack can be harmful causing serious chemical burns if on the skin or in the eyes. Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with soap and water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush with cold water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Inhalation of vapors from a ruptured Battery Pack can cause respiratory irritation, provide fresh air, and seek medical attention.
• Never dispose of the Battery Pack in a fire, as the Battery Pack may explode. Never open or mutilate the Battery Pack; released materials are flammable. If fire or explosion occurs, do not breathe the fumes. A burning Battery Pack will create toxic fumes. Fire fighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus. The fire in the Battery Pack will need to burn out, but the fire can be kept from spreading. If possible, separate the Battery Pack from other flammable materials and use sand, copper powder or powdered graphite fire extinguishers, dry ground dolomite or soda ash to smother the fire.
• Do not ship damaged Battery Packs and be sure to use the original packaging materials when shipping Batteries and tools back to DR® Power Equipment if you decide you do not want them. Special labeling on the packaging is required because the Batteries are considered hazardous materials. Check with airlines before trying to check Lithium batteries with your baggage. New regulations are being considered that may restrict packaging and shipping of these Batteries as well as tools with Batteries installed.
• Please dispose of your used Battery Packs responsibly by recycling them, never throw away used Battery Packs in your household trash. Call your local Solid Waste Management District or your local waste handler to locate the collection site nearest you. Some collection sites recycle Battery Packs year-round; others collect them periodically. You can also visit the Web site of Earth 911 for more information [ www.earth911.org ]. Once there, click the Municipal HHW link under Hazardous Household Waste, and enter your zip code. The site lists recycling centers located near you. You can also visit our website www.DRpower.com and click on “Customer Service” to find distribution centers across the country that will accept your Battery Pack for 100% recycling of the plastic and lithium. To learn more about hazardous waste recycling, visit the Web site for the Environmental Protection Agency [ www.epa.gov ].

4. To turn off, rotate the Power Switch backwards to the MIN position and past the detent/click.

Using the Blower

Be careful where you point the jet of air from the Blower, as it could move heavy material and cause injury or damage to persons or property.

• Use your DR® PRO-62V BLOWER to clean out corners, fences, and walls, beneath cars or wooded areas.
• To keep from scattering debris, blow around the outer edges of a debris pile. Never blow directly into the center of the pile.
• To reduce sound levels, limit the number pieces of equipment used at one time.
• Use rakes and brooms to loosen debris before blowing. In dusty conditions, slightly dampen surfaces when water is available.
• Conserve water by using power blowers instead of hoses for many lawn and garden applications.
• Watch out for children, pets open windows, or freshly washed cars, and blow debris safely away.
• After using blowers or other equipment, CLEAN UP! Dispose of debris properly.

Battery Features
The Battery can be used to charge/operate phones or other electronic devices that use a USB cord.

1. Remove the Battery from the tool.
2. Plug the device into the USB Port of the Battery (Figure 8).

Chapter 4: Maintaining the DR® PRO-62V BLOWER

The Battery Pack should not leak, regardless of the position in which it is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely” in Chapter 1 for additional information. The Battery Pack is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. With all rechargeable Batteries, after years of use, they will eventually need replacement. Use only the DR® 62V Charger with DR® 62V Battery Packs. Do not try to use the DR® 62V Charger with Battery Packs from other manufacturers or other DR® products.

NOTICE:

• Make sure the Charger Power Supply is plugged into a normal household voltage, 120volts, 60Hz, AC only.
• You should operate the Battery Charger in a dry place with temperatures between 50ºF (10ºC) and +100ºF (+37.8ºC). Operating above +100 ºF can cause Battery Pack leakage, rust, or degradation of the Battery Pack performance.
• Disconnect Charger Power Supply from the household voltage power when not in use to prevent damage to the Charger during a power surge.
• Periodically inspect the Cord on the Charger unit for damage. If damage occurs, do not use the Charger until you have replaced or repaired the Cord. Do not abuse the Cord. Never carry the Charger by the Cord. Always pull the plug and not the Cord when disconnecting the Power Supply from the electrical outlet (wall outlet) and from the Charger. When using an extension Cord with your Charger, use a heavy-duty extension Cord of a type ‘suitable for outdoor use’ (although you should never charge the Battery Pack in the open outdoors).
• The Battery Pack requires 2-3 charging and discharging cycles before reaching full charge ability.
• A Battery Pack may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it completely discharge. Recharge the Battery Pack as soon as the trimming power of your DR Hedge Trimmer is no longer effective. This would be a good time to have a spare Battery Pack ready to go. Recharge the Battery Pack for up to 75 minutes or until fully charged and remove it from the Charger.
• A good time to consider purchasing a replacement Battery Pack is when it loses its power quickly.

Battery LED Lights

Check the charge percentage of your 62V Battery by pushing the Indicator Button on the front of the Battery (Figure 9). The number of Green LED indicators will tell you the % of power left in the battery. 1-25%, 2-50%, 3-75% and 4-100%. If you press the Indicator Button and only the fourth LED flashes, the Battery needs charging.
