could cause overheating. Do not place the charger
near any heat source.
▪ Do not pull on the lead of the charger to disconnect it
from the power source.
▪ Make sure that the charger cord is positioned where it
will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise sub-
jected to damage or stress.
▪ Do not use an extension cord unless it is absolutely
necessary. The use of an improper extension cord
could cause the risk of fire or electric shock.
▪ Do not use the charger if it has been subjected to a heavy
knock, dropped or otherwise damaged in any way.
▪ Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug. If
the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in
order to avoid a safety hazard.
▪ To reduce the risk of an electric shock, unplug the
charger from the power supply before attempting to
clean it. Removing the battery alone does not reduce
the risk.
▪ Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in lo-
cations where the temperature may reach or exceed
40°C, such as alongside sheds, trailers or metal struc-
tures.
▪ Do not attempt to connect the charger to a network
with different supply voltage, other than the specified
on the technical data label of the charger.
▪ The exposed contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material if the charger is plugged
into the power supply. Conductive materials should
be kept away from the socket (2) and the ventilation
slots. Always unplug the charger from the power sup-
ply when there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug
charger before attempting to clean.
▪ Always unplug the charger from the power socket
when not in use and store it in a dry and safe place.
Additional instructions
for work with the battery pack
▪ The battery pack has been delivered partially charged.
You must charge the battery pack fully before use.
WARNING: If the battery pack is cracked or
damaged in any other way, do not insert it in the charg-
er. There is a danger of electric shock.
▪ Battery fluid may leak under unfavourable conditions,
avoid contact. In case you touch the liquid acciden-
tally, rinse skin with water. If battery liquid comes in
contact with your eyes, seek further medical attention.
Released battery liquid may cause irritation or burns.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the battery
pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the bat-
tery pack breaks or cracks, return to a service centre
for recycling.
▪ Recharge a battery pack with the original charger
only. A charger appropriate for one type of battery

pack may pose a risk when used with another type.
▪ Always use correct SPARKY battery pack (the one
supplied with tool or a replacement pack exactly like
it). Never install any other battery pack. It will ruin your
tool and may create a hazardous condition.
▪ When battery is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause fire or ex-
plosion.
▪ The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs, which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under
these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. The
Li- ion battery can be charged at any time without re-
ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging proce-
dure does not damage the battery.
▪ 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-
lated trailer.
BATTERY CHARGING (Fig. 1)
▪ Insert the plug of the charger in the socket. The green
LED light on the charger indicator (9) will start to glow
thus indicating mains voltage.
▪ Insert the battery (8) in the charger socket (10).
▪ A new battery will work properly after five cycles of
charging and discharging. Charge and discharge a
battery, which is not used for a long time, for two to
three times to function well.
▪ When the battery working time is remarkably short de-
