APH 240
– Important! Batteries will discharge even if the tool is
not used. They should therefore be re-charged reg-
ularly.
Or better still – connect the battery to the mains
charger which will automatically switch to mainte-
nance charging after the battery has been fully
charged. This is particularly useful for maintenance
and for the optimal operational readiness of the
batteries.
– Do not leave the battery in the charger if the latter
is not in operating condition.
To ensure long service life, the batteries should
always be charged in good time. This is particularly
important if you notice a reduction in power ouput.
1. Remove battery 9 from the handle by simultane-
ously pressing the locking device 8.
2. Make sure that the mains voltage complies with
the voltage on the name-plate on the charger.
Connect charger plug to mains.
3. Push battery into battery until it snaps into place.
Battery charging unit type: CLG 120
Use as Intended
The device is only designed for charging Kress batter-
ies with a voltage of 24 V.
Both NiCd batteries and NiMH batteries can be
charged.
Charging Procedure
The quick, computerised battery charger has an
extensive function for monitoring the battery and
charging parameters and charges the battery with
the optimum quick-charging current in each case,
depending upon the temperature. This enables the
shortest charging times and a long battery service life.
Fully insert the battery into the charging slot until it is
heard and/or felt to notch. For removing the battery,
press both lock-release buttons until the battery can
be taken out of the battery charger without any resist-
ance. Do not exert any force!
After completion of the quick charging process, the
charging unit switches automatically to trickle charg-
ing. This compensates for the natural self-discharging
of the battery.
Display and Key
Constant green indicator light: The charging unit is
correctly connected to the power mains and is ready
for operation. No battery is inserted in the charging
cavity or it is not making contact.
Blinking green indicator light: The battery is making
contact and quick charging is in progress.
Constant green indicator light: The quick charging
process has ended and the charging unit has
switched to trickle charging. The battery is completely
charged and can be removed.
Rapid flashing green indicator light: The battery
temperature is outside the allowable range. The
charging process begins as soon as the battery tem-
perature is again within the prescribed temperature
range.
The battery is defective or there is a short between the
charging contacts.
– Remove the battery from the battery charger.
– Pull out the mains plug!
– Check the charging slot for foreign bodies.
No light: Mains voltage missing.
If the batteries cannot be charged correctly:
1. Make sure the socket is providing voltage.
2. Make sure the charging points provide good
contact.
3. Should charging still not be possible, please send
the battery and battery charger to our nearest serv-
ice centre.
Notes for the correct use of the battery:
– To obtain the maximum service life, do not
recharge the battery immediately after a short
period of use but, if possible, discharge to the
lower capacity limit and then recharge.
– Avoid to the extent possible the blocking of the
machine. The resulting excessive current flow
leads to quick discharging and increased wear of
the battery.
– An increasingly shorter operating time per recharg-
ing of the battery is an indication that the battery is
worn out and must be replaced.
Do not carry out any repair on the charger yourself!
As a basic rule, return the faulty machine to our next
customer service centre (also in the case of defective
mains cables)!
