done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under
these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. The
Li- ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging proce-
dure does not damage the battery.
▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance.
(2) Move charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately 15°C–
25°C).
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool,
battery pack and charger to your local service centre.
▪ To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the air
temperature is between 15–25°C. Do not charge the
battery pack when the temperature is below 5°C, or
above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe this
safety rule could cause serious damage to the bat-
tery pack.
▪ The charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery packs
in direct sunlight in hot weather or near heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any kind.
The battery must be placed in a well ventilated area
during charging.
▪ When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check
any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace
them, if required.
▪ Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
▪ To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsu-
lated trailer.
BATTERY CHARGING (Fig. 1)
▪ Insert the plug of the charger in the socket. The green
LED light on the charger indicator (11) will start to glow
thus indicating mains voltage.
▪ Insert the battery (5) in the charger socket (10).
▪ A new battery will work properly after five cycles of
charging and discharging. Charge and discharge a
battery, which is not used for a long time, for two to
three times to function well.
▪ When the battery working time is remarkably short de-
spite full charging, the life of the battery may be over.
Replace the battery immediately.
Charging indication:
▪ The green LED light starts to glow upon plugging the
charger in the mains.
▪ The green LED light starts to blink after the battery
has been placed in the charger, thus indicating the
beginning of the charging process.
During the charging process the charger and battery
might become warm. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
▪ The green LED light starts to glow constantly after
completion of charging.

The charger features thermal overload protection for the
battery. Nevertheless we recommend withdrawing the
battery from the charger upon expiring of the charging
time. You may use additionally an electric timer in order
to control the charging time.
