Do not charge the battery pack at
ambient temperatures < 4 °C or > 40 °C.
Recommended charging temperature:
approx. 24 °C.
• To charge the battery pack (3), insert it into the
charger (1) as shown and plug in the charger.
Be sure that the battery pack is fully seated in the
charger. The red charging indicator (2) will blink.
After approx. 1 hour, it will stop blinking and
remain on. The battery pack is now fully charged.
• The red charging indicator flashes rapidly to
indicate a charging problem. Reinsert the battery
pack or try a new one. If the new pack also
refuses to charge, have your charger tested by
an authorised D WALT repair agent.
E
Automatic tune-up
The automatic tune-up mode will
equalize or balance the individual
cells in the battery pack at its peak
capacity. Battery packs should be
tuned up overnight after every 10th
charge/discharge cycle or whenever
the pack no longer delivers the same
amount of work.
• To tune up your battery pack, place the battery in
the charger as usual. The red light will blink
continuously indicating that the charge cycle has
started.
• When the 1-hour charge cycle has completed,
the light will stay on continuously and will no
longer blink. The pack is fully charged and can
be used at this time.
• If the pack is left in the charger after the initial
1-hour charge, the charger will automatically
initiate the tune-up mode. This mode will continue
up to 8 hours, but the battery pack can be
removed at any time during the tune-up mode.
• The charger will automatically switch to sleep
mode after 12 hours to avoid draining the car
battery. To resume charging, remove and then
reinsert the battery pack or remove and then
reinsert the plug.
Air cooling
This charger is equipped with an internal fan for
rapid cooling of battery packs.
The fan will be automatically switched on when
required.
Hot/Cold Pack Delay
When the charger detects a battery that is too hot or
too cold, it automatically starts a Hot/Cold Pack
Delay, suspending charging until the battery has
reached an appropriate temperature. The charger
then automatically switches to the pack charging
mode. This feature ensures maximum battery life.
The red indicator (2) blinks long, then short while in
the Hot/Cold Pack Delay mode.
Maintenance
Your D WALT charger has been designed to
E
operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation
depends upon proper care and regular cleaning.
Cleaning
• Unplug the charger before cleaning the housing
with a soft cloth.
• Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly
clean the housing with a soft cloth.
Environment
Battery pack
The long life battery pack must be recharged when it
fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were
easily done before. At the end of its technical life,
discard it with due care for our environment:
• Run the battery pack down completely,
then remove it from the tool.
• NiCd and NiMH cells are recyclable. Take them
to your dealer or a local recycling station.
The collected battery packs will be recycled or
disposed of properly.
