– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Charging battery pack [3]

Charge Festool battery packs only using an
original Festool chargerTCL 3.
Unwind the cable completely from the recess
[3-2] before using the charger.
The charger TCL 3 can be used to charge all Festool
battery packs of the BPS and BPC series. The char-
ger automatically detects the type of the inserted
battery (NiCd, NiMH or LiIon). A microprocessor
controls the charging process in line with the
charging state, temperature and voltage of the bat-
tery pack.
