5.5 Remarks on the use of the battery cartridge and charging unit.
The charging unit type LG4F is run with a nominal voltage of 230 V and a frequency of 50-60 Hz. New batteries must
be charged prior to use. To remove the battery RAM2 actuate the battery lock (pic. 1, 3) and pull it out of the tool. To
charge the battery connect the power plug of the charging unit with the power supply and slide the battery into the
charging unit (pic. 31). The colour of the LED changes from green to red and the charging cycle begins. The charging
time is 40 minutes(pic. 32). The charging level of the battery cartridge can be checked by a LED.
green battery cartridge is charged
red Battery cartridge is empty and is just being charged
fl ashing battery cartridge is not pushed in properly or too hot.
The LED is constantly indicating during the charging cycle. When the colour of the LED changes from red to green
the charging cycle is terminated. Afterwards disconnect the charging unit from the power source (pic. 33).
Is the nominal capacity of the battery not achieved, e.g. at fi rst charge, so the battery is not necessarily faulty. The full
capacity can be achieved after 3 charging/decharging cycles.
Do not charge the battery cartridge in presence of fl ammable liquids or gases.
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will
switch into its „trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.
As soon as the speed of the machine decreases noticeably the battery must be recharged. Do not recharge a partially
discharged battery as a precaution (pic. 37).
Charge the battery at room temperature between 10°C and 40°C (pic. 34). If charging a battery which has currently
been used or which was laying in the sun for a longer period of time (T>65°C) the right LED might fl ash red. In this
case remove battery out of charger and wait for a while. The charging procedure can be re-started after the battery
cooled down. Charging batteries at low temperatures under 5°C is not possible. Increase battery temperature before
starting the charging cycle. Do not expose the charging unit to rain and snow (pic. 36). Do not charge a battery in the
vicinity of explosive materials and gases (pic. 35).
No other batteries are permitted to be used neither in the tool nor in the charging unit. The charging unit also allows
to charge the Klauke batteries RA2 to RA5.
