• When charging a cool battery pack
EN
(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.
• Cool down the charger when
charging more than two battery
packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into
contact hole, when holding charger
or any other occasions.
• To prevent the risk of fire or
damage to the battery charger.
- Do not use power source from an
engine generator.
- Unplug the charger when not in
use.
• Plug in the charger securely all
the way. Plugging it in only part
way creates a risk of fire resulting
from sparks or heat. Do not use a
damaged plug or a loose outlet.
• Clear the dust off the plug
regularly. Dust on the plug can
attract moisture and lead to poor
insulation, increasing the risk of
fire. Pull the plug out and wipe it
with a dry cloth.
• Unplug the charger from the outlet
when not in use.
• If not properly maintained,
insulation can deteriorate,
increasing the risk of electric
shock and fire.
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. Insert the battery pack firmly into the
charger.【 Fig.10 】
• Charging will not start if the
battery pack is warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty
operation). The charging lamp (red)
will be illuminated until the battery
cools down.
Charging will then begin automatically.
3. The charging lamp (green) will flash until
charging is completed.
4. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp (green) will be illumi-
nated. When charging is completed,
an internal electronic switch will
automatically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
5. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted
into the charger again, the charging
lamp (green) will be illuminated.
NOTE:
• There are times when the power
light stays on for about 10 seconds
after unplugging from the power
plug, but it is not a breakdown.
