CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
If the temperature of the battery pack exceeds the normal temperature range, the red LED light will illuminate and the
green LED light will go out. When the battery pack cools down to approximately 40°C the charger will automatically
start the charging process.
CHARGING A COLD BATTERY PACK
If the temperature of the battery pack falls below the normal temperature range, the red LED light will illuminate and
the green LED light will go out. When the battery pack heats up to approximately 0°C the charger will automatically
start the charging process.
DEFECTIVE BATTERY
If the charger detects a problem, the red LED will begin flashing and the green LED will be unlit.
If the battery pack is identified as defective, remove it and re-insert it into the charger. If the status of the LED lights
indicate a "defective" battery pack for a second time, charge another battery pack.
If the other battery pack is charged without any problems, dispose of the defective battery pack properly (see the sec-
tion entitled "Maintenance").
If the other battery pack is also identified as "defective", you can assume a charger defect.
BATTERY CHARGING
While charging the battery pack at a normal ambient temperature (0° C to 40° C) the green LED flashes and the red
LED is unlit. The battery pack can be fully charged in 30 minutes.
Battery FULL
If the battery pack is within normal temperature range, the green LED will illuminate and the red LED will be off. The
battery pack is fully charged and ready to use. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the charger, but it will not
overcharge.
NOTE:
The charger can heat up in the event of multiple charging cycles. This is part of the normal charging process. Always
charge in well ventilated areas.
CONNECTING THE BATTERY PACK (Fig.4)
Make sure that the Variotool is in the "OFF" position.
Align the raised rib on the battery pack with the groove in
the Variotool and insert the battery pack.
NOTE:
Before using the tool make sure that the lock on the bat-
tery pack is engaged and that the battery pack is secured
to the tool.
REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK (Fig. 4)
Make sure that the Variotool is in the "OFF" position.
Depress the battery release buttons located on the both
sides of the battery pack to release it.
Pull the battery pack out and remove it from the tool.
ATTENTION:
When fitting the battery pack to the device, make sure that the raised rib on the battery pack is in line with
the groove in the Variotool, and that the catch clicks properly into place. Incorrect fitting of the battery pack
can damage internal parts.
