▪ If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp
or other appliance.
(2) Move charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately 15°C–
25°C).
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool,
battery pack and charger to your local service centre.
▪ To ensure the longest battery life and best battery
performance, always charge the battery when the air
temperature is between 15–25°C. Do not charge the
battery pack when the temperature is below 5°C, or
above 40°C. This is important. Failure to observe this
safety rule could cause serious damage to the bat-
tery pack.
▪ The charger and battery pack may become warm to
touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
▪ To prevent overheating, do not charge battery packs
in direct sunlight in hot weather or near heat sources.
▪ Do not charge inside a box or container of any kind.
The battery must be placed in a well ventilated area
during charging.
▪ When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and
come into contact with adjacent components. Check
any parts concerned. Clean such parts or replace
them, if required.
▪ Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is seriously
damaged or can no longer hold a charge. The battery
pack can explode in a fire.
▪ To facilitate the cooling of the battery pack after use,
avoid placing the charger or battery pack in a warm
environment such as in a metal shed, or an uninsu-
