- Failure to do so may result in
EN
scalding.
• The usage temperature range for
lithium ion battery packs is 0 to 40
degrees.
- Use of battery packs cooled to below
zero, such as in colder northern
areas, may result in abnormal
operation of the device. In such
cases, leave the battery pack in a
location of 10 degrees or more for
one hour or more before use, and
only use the device after the battery
pack has warmed up.
[Battery Charger]
Charging
CAUTION:
1)
If the temperature of the battery
pack falls approximately below
−10°C (14°F), charging will
automatically stop to prevent
degradation of the battery.
2)
The ambient temperature range is
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C
(104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), the tool may fail to function
properly.
3)
Use the charger at temperatures
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C
(104°F), and charge the battery at a
temperature similar to that of the
battery itself. (There should be no
more than a 15°C (59°F) difference
between the temperatures of the
battery and the charging location.)
4)
When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place
and wait for more than one hour to
warm up the battery to the level of
the ambient temperature.
5)
Cool down the charger when
charging more than two battery
packs consecutively.
6)
Do not insert your fingers into
contact hole, when holding charger
or any other occasions.
7)
Unplug the charger when not in
use.
8)
Store the charger between 0 and 40
degrees, and charge the battery
pack at a temperature close to the
storage temperature.
• If the battery pack is charged
while at a temperature below 0
degrees, a full charge will give
only around 50% of a normal
charge. Commence charging
after 1 hour or more at the
prescribed temperature.
9)
Do not charge in a poorly ventilated
place.
10) Do not cover the battery pack or
charger with a cloth or the like while
charing is in progrress.
NOTE:
Your battery pack is not fully charged
at the time of purchase. Be sure to
charge the battery before use.
How to charge
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
NOTE:
Sparks may be produced when the
plug is inserted into the AC power
supply, but this is not a problem in
terms of safety.
2. Connect the battery pack firmly into
the charger.
(1) Line up the alignment marks and
place the battery onto the dock
on the charger.
NOTE:
Not all battery packs display the
alignment mark [Fig. 13] (on page
8).
(2) Slide forward in the direction of
the arrow. [Fig. 13
3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be lit. When charging is
completed, an internal electronic
switch will automatically be triggered
to prevent overcharging.
