BATTERy & CHARGER MAINTENANCE
cHaRGING THE BaTTERy
A factory-new battery is not fully charged.
Recommendation: Fully charge the battery before using it with your power tool for the first time.
•
Connect the charger to the power supply – mains voltage and operating voltage of the
charger must be the same.
Operate the charger indoors only in dry locations at an ambient temperature between 10-40°C
(50-104°F).
•
Push the adapter (1) into the charger (2) until you feel noticeable resistance – then push it in
until it stops.
•
The light emitting diode (3) on the charger comes on when the adapter is inserted – see "Light
Emitting Diode (LED) on Charger".
•
Charging begins as soon as the digits starts to flash – see "Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on
Battery".
The charge time is dependent on a number of factors, including battery condition, ambient
temperature, etc., and may therefore vary from the charge time in the "Specifications".
The battery warms up during operation. If a warm battery is inserted in the charger, it may be
necessary to cool it down before charging. The charging process begins only after the battery
has cooled down. The time required for cooling may prolong the charge time.
