Safety precautions
When using electric appliances, the following funda-
mental safety precautions must always be observed in
order to avoid the risk of injury, electric shock and fire
hazards.Pleasereadandobserve the instructionsbelow
before using the appliance.
1. Avoid short circuits.
Short circuiting the contacts of the charger or battery
presents a risk of fire and explosion.
2. Take the influences of the surrounding area into
account.
Do not expose the charger to rain and do not use it in
damporwetsurroundingsorinthevicinityof flamma-
ble liquids or gases.
3. Check the charger each time before use.
Checktheconditionofthecharger,supply cord and plug
before use. Do not use the charger if it is found to be
damaged,incompleteorifthe controls cannot be oper-
ated correctly.
4. Use the charger only for the purpose for which it is
intended.
5. Handle the supply cord carefully.
Nevercarry the charger by thesupplycord.Donotunplug
thechargerbypullingoutthesupplycord.Do not expose
the supply cord to heat, oil or sharp edges. If the sup-
plycordbecomesdamagedwhileworking,donottouch
it – unplug the mains plug immediately.
6. Keep the charger and batteries in good con-
dition.
Follow the instructions on care and maintenance. Nev-
er operate the charger when it is dirty or wet. Under

9
unfavourableconditions,dampnessordirtadheringto
thesurface of the charger may presentariskofelectric
shock.
Repairs of the charger including, in particular, replace-
mentofthe supply cord may be carried outonlyby the
manufacturer or authorised service centre using origi-
nal Hilti spare parts. Failure to observe this point may
result in damage or present a risk of accident. Conse-
quently, let only repair work of the charger be made at
a Hilti service centre or authorised Hilti repair centres.
7. Keep the charger and battery pack out of the
reach of children
Knowledgeoftheoperatinginstructions is a must if the
tool is to be used without injury or damage to persons
and / or product respectively.
8. Keep your work area clean and well lit.
9. Keep other persons away from the charger during
the operation.
Before use
Connect the charger to the mains supply.
– The mains voltage must correspond to the infor-
mation given on the rating plate.
ThegreenLEDmustlightconstantly. Ifitdoesnotlight,
proceed as follows:
– Check the mains supply voltage and the connec-
tion of the mains plug to the mains supply.
– Iftheconnectiontothe mains supply or the mains
supplyitselfisnotthe cause of the fault, bring the
charger to a Hilti service centre for repair.
Operate the charger only at a suitable location.
– The location for operation of the charger should
be dry, clean and cool, but not exposed to frost.
– The charger must be able to give off heat during
the charging procedure. Accordingly, the ventila-
tion slots must always be unobstructed.
Wall mount
– The mounting holes provided on the base of the
housing should be used if the charger is to be
mounted in a wall.
– Topreventthebattery pack falling out ofthecharg-
er, the charger must not be mounted on an over-
hanging wall.
– Checkregularlythatthechargerissecurelymount-
ed.
Operation
Insert the battery (SFB105, SBP10, SFB125, SBP12,
SFB121,SFB126,SFB150,SFB155,SFB180,SFB185)
inthechargingcompartment.Pushthebatteryintothe
compartment as far as it will go, until it engages. Take
caretoensurethatthe battery fits correctly in the charg-
ing compartment .

Indicators 
Green LED
– Lights constantly when the charger is connected to
the mains supply. The charger is ready for opera-
tion.
– When the LED blinks, the battery is not ready to be
charged. (Re-insert the battery. If charging does
not then begin, please refer to the "Care and main-
tenance"sectionoftheSF100-A,SF121-A,SF150-A,
SF180-A or SF4000-A operating instructions.)
Red LED
– Lights constantly: The battery is being charged.
– Blinks: The battery is charged.
Yellow LED
– Lights constantly: The battery is being charged in
conditioning charge mode.
– Blinks: The battery is too cold [approx. 0°C] or too
hot [approx. 60°C]. Charging does not take place.
The charger begins charging automatically as soon
as the battery reaches the required temperature.
Conditioning charge mode 
Battery cells are subject to self-discharge. With older
batteries,therateofself-discharge of some of the cells
maybehigherthanthatofothers.Asconventional charg-
ersswitchoffwhenthe first cells have reached full charge,
the other partly charged cells do not receive the full
charge. The user becomes aware of this effect in the

to clean the contacts.
Maintenance
Checkallexternalpartsofthechargerfordamage
at regular intervals and check that all controls operate
faultlessly. Do not operate the charger when parts are
damaged or when the controls do not function fault-
lessly. When necessary, your electric tool should be
repaired at a Hilti service centre.
Warranty
Hilti warrants that the tool supplied is free of defects in
materialandworkmanship.Thiswarrantyisvalidaslong
as the tool is operated and handled correctly, cleaned
and serviced properly and in accordance with the Hilti
Operating Instructions. All warranty claims are made
within 12 months from the date of sale (invoice date),
andthetechnicalsystemis maintained. This means that
onlyoriginalHilticonsumables,componentsandspare

This warranty provides the free-of-charge repair or
replacementofdefectivepartsonly.Partsrequiringrepair
or replacement as a result of normal wear and tear are
not covered by this warranty.
Additional claims are excluded, unless stringent nation-
al rules prohibit such exclusion. In particular, Hilti is
not obligated for direct, indirect, incidental or conse-
quential damages, losses or expenses in connection
with, or by reason of, the use of, or inability to use the
tool for any purpose. Implied warranties of mer-
chantability or fitness for a particular purpose are

Battery (accessory)
Before a battery is used for the first time, it must
bechargedfor24hoursinnormalmodeor for up to 12
hours in conditioning mode in order to permit “form-
ing” of the battery cells.
–At low temperatures: Battery performance drops at
low temperatures. Store batteries at room tempera-
ture when not in use.
–At high temperatures: Do not store batteries where
they may be subjected to high temperatures (e.g.
exposed to the sun, at a window, behind a car wind-
screen or on a radiator).
– Never fully discharge a battery. Recharge the battery
as soon as its performance drops noticeably. When
approaching total discharge, the cells, which reach a
state of complete discharge first (due to slight differ-
encesintheircondition),willbedamagedbythe cur-
rent still being drawn from the other cells.
Care and maintenance
When conducting care and maintenance work
always pull out the mains plug.
Care of the charger

resistant plastic.
Clean the outside of the charger at regular
intervals using a slightly damp cloth.Donotuseaspray,
steam pressure cleaning equipment or running water
for cleaning. This may negatively affect the electrical
safetyofthecharger.Donotusecleaningagents which
contain silicone.
Never operate the charger when the ventilation
slots are blocked. Clean the ventilation slots carefully
