[Battery Charger]
Charging
CAUTION
• The charger is designed to operate
on standard domestic electrical
power only as stated in the rating
plate. Charge only on the voltage
indicated on the rating plate of unit.
e.g.230V / 50Hz.
• Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage or frequency rating.
• The ambient temperature range is
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
• If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), the tool may fail to function
properly.
• If the temperature of the battery pack
falls approximately below 0°C ( 32°F),
charging will automatically stop to
prevent degradation of the battery.
• Use the charger at temperatures
between 0°C and 40°C, and charge
the battery at a temperature similar
to that of the battery itself. (There
should be no more than a 15°C
difference between the temperatures
of the battery and the charging
location.)
• When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (32°F) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place
and wait for more than one hour to
warm up the battery to the level of
the ambient temperature.
• Cool down the charger when
charging more than two battery
packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers into
contact hole, when holding charger
or any other occasions.
• To prevent the risk of fire or damage
to the battery charger.
1. Do not use power source from an
engine generator.
2. Unplug the charger when not in
use.

charge the battery before use.
How to charge
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
NOTE:
Sparks may be produced when the plug
is inserted into the AC power supply, but
this is not a problem in terms of safety.
2. Connect the battery pack firmly into the
charger.
1. Line up the alignment marks and
place the battery onto the dock on
the charger.
2. Slide forward in the direction of the
arrow.
3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be illuminated. When charging is
completed, an internal electronic switch
will automatically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the
battery pack is warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty
operation).The orange standby
lamp will be flashing until the battery
cools down.Charging will then begin
automatically.
4. The charge lamp (green) will flash
slowly once the battery is approximately
80% charged.
5. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp in green color will turn off.
6. If the temperature of the battery pack
is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to
fully charge the battery pack than the
standard charging time.
Even when the battery is fully charged,
it will have approximately 50% of the
power of a fully charged battery at
normal operating temperature.
7. Consult an authorized dealer if the
charging lamp (green) does not turn off.
8. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted
into the charger again, the charging
lamp lights up. After several minutes, the
charging lamp in green color will turn off.
