CHARGING PROCEDURE A NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully. B 1 1. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK The battery charger supplied is matched to the Li-ion battery installed in the machine. Do not use another battery charger. The Li-ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: Warning: In a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging. 2. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must charge once before use. When you charge the new battery or one which has not been used for long periods of time, it may not reach full charge until after you have discharged it fully in use and recharge it several times. 3. HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY PACK (See A, B) Connect the battery charger to the power supply and the green light (1) will illuminate.
Slide the battery pack into the charger base to make the connections. And the red light (1) will illuminate to show charging has started. After charging approx 3-5hours, the red light will switch to green, which means the battery is full, and charging is completed. Then press the battery pack release button and remove your battery pack. NOTE: This charger is designed to detect some problems that can arise with battery pack. (see table below) Light Status Green ON Red ON (Green will transfer to red directly without delay.) Charger is plugged into the socket without the battery inserted Battery is either fully charged or the temperature of the battery is too high or too low and is not within the permisable temperature range (less than 0 O C or more than 45 O C) for charging to take place Charging
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problems and Solutions Problem Possible Cause Solution Green ON, but battery does not charge when inserted into the charger Battery is not inserted into the charger properly Battery contacts are not connecting properly Defective Battery Slide the battery into the charger properly Remove any debris from the battery contacts (try inserting and removing the battery several times) or replace the battery Replace the battery No light (Neither the red or green light illuminates) Battery charger plug is not properly connected to power supply Electrical outlet, battery charger cable, or battery charger is defective Insert the main plug of battery charger fully into the electrical outlet Check the voltage; have the battery charger checked by our service agent or a similarly qualified person 1. I CANNOT FIT THE BATTERY INTO THE BATTERY CHARGER. WHY? 1) Check if the charger and the battery pack are specifically designed for working together. 2) The battery can be slid to the charger only in one direction. Turn the battery around until it can be slid to the groove. 2. REASONS FOR DIFFERENT CHARGING TIMES The charging time can be affected by many reasons which are not defects in your product. 1) If the battery pack is only partly discharged it may be re-charged in less than 3hours. 2) If the battery pack and ambient temperature are very cold then re-charging may take more hours. 3) If the battery pack is very hot you must remove your battery pack from the charger and allow your battery pack to cool first to ambient temperature and then recharging can be started.
