3. Charging
When the battery is connected to the battery
charger, charging will commence and the pilot
lamp will light on.
NOTE:
If the pilot lamp dose not light, pull out the plug
from the receptacle and check if the battery is
properly mounted.
In approx. 30 – 50 min., when the battery is fully
charged, the pilot lamp will go out.
NOTE:
The battery charging time becomes longer when
a temperature is low or the voltage of the power
source is too low.
When the pilot lamp does not go off even if more
than four hour has passed after start of the
charging, stop the charging and contact your
metabo HPT AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
4. Disconnect battery charger from the receptacle.
CAUTION:
Do not pull the plug out of the receptacle by
pulling on the cord.
Make sure to grasp the plug when removing from
receptacle to avoid damaging cord.
5. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
Supporting the battery charger with hand, pull out
the battery from the battery charger.
CAUTION:
● When the battery charger has been continuously
used, the battery charger will be heated, thus
constituting the cause of the failures. Once the
charging has been completed, wait 15 minutes
rest until the next charging.
● If the battery is recharged when it is warm due
to battery use or exposure to sunlight, the pilot
lamp may not light.
The battery will not be recharged. In such a case,
let the battery cool before charging.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new
batteries, etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new
batteries and batteries that have not been used
for an extended period is not activated, the electric
discharge might be low when using them the first
and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for
recharging will be restored by recharging the
batteries 2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its
battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust
the electric current, the battery may be damaged
and its life will become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately
after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately
after use, its internal chemical substance will
deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened.
Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled
for a while.

BEFORE USE

Check the work area to make sure that it is clear of debris
and clutter.
Clear the area of unnecessary personnel. Ensure that
lighting and ventilation is adequate.
