Insert battery pack into charging
chamber:
Insert battery pack with the fi n (1.4 or 1.5)
in the lower groove (1.1) of the charging
chamber.
Push battery pack into charging chamber
until it catches with the lock (1.9 or 1.7) in
the groove (1.2 or 1.3). The battery pack
is now charged.
Press the button (1.8 or 1.6) to unlock it
and remove it from the charger.
3 Wall mounting
The charger ECU 45 has two longitudinal
slots on its rear by which it can be sus-
pended on walls using two screws (e.g.
button-headed or fl at head screw with a
shaft diameter of 5 mm).
Screw the screws into the wall so that their
heads protrude approx. 4 mm.
4 lnstructions on application - main-
tenance - care
The equipment is generally maintenance-
free.
To ensure trouble-free operation we rec-
ommend that the following instructions be
adhered to:
• Keep the air vents clean to guarantee the
air circulation for cooling.
• Keep the connection contacts clean.
• Festool chargers and Festool battery packs
are designed for each other. Therefore,
only use Festool chargers to charge Fes-
tool battery packs.
• By keeping the battery pack in a ready for
use charger, the battery pack will be kept
in a state of readiness by fl oat charging
conservation.
• Do not keep discharged battery pack
(maximum one month) attached to charg-
er whenever charger is detached from the
power supply (danger of deep discharg-
ing).
• Whenever two battery packs are inserted
into the quick charger they will be charged
in the order of insertion.
• A new battery pack or a battery pack not
used for a longer period of time reaches
it full capacity after about 5 charging and
discharging cycles.
• Battery packs should, before charging, be
fully discharged if possible. Continuous
starting of the charging process shortens
the lifespan of the batteries.
• Do not expose battery packs to direct rays
of the sun or high temperatures - Tem-
peratures over 45°C will shorten the life
of the battery.
• All maintenance and repair work, requir-
ing dismantling of equipment, may only
be performed by an authorised after-sales
service workshop.
5 Recycling battery packs
Never throw spent battery packs into
domestic waste containers!
Return spent or defective battery packs
to dealers, the Festool after-sales service
department or approved waste disposal
facilities.
This ensures that they are correctly recy-
cled.
