Noise & Vibration Data
Acoustic Pressure: <76 dB(A) K=3dB
Acoustic Power: <85 dB(A) K=3dB
Maximum Vibration: <2.5 m/s2 / K = 1.5m/s2
Sound emission values determined according to
EN62841-1. The declared vibration total value has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
used to compare one tool with another and according
to EN60745. Both sound and vibration values have an
uncertainty factor of K. The declared total values may
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING!
The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can dier from
the declared total value depending
on the ways in which the tool is used.
The need to identify safety measures and to protect
the operator are based on an estimation of exposure
in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle, such as the times the tool
is switched o, when it is running idle, in addition to
trigger time). Identify additional safety measures to
protect the operator such as proper maintenance of

• Keep work area clear. Cluttered work
areas invite accidents.
• Consider work area environment. Do not
expose tools to rain. Do not use tools in
damp or wet locations. Keep work area
well lit. Never use tools near ammable
liquids or gases.
• Protect yourself against electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces.
• Keep other people away. Do not let
others, especially children, come close
to the work, and touch the tool or power
cable. Keep them away from the work
area.
• Store idle tools. When not in use, tools
should be stored in a dry locked-up
place, out of children’s reach.
• Never force the tools. Your tools will be
more ecient and safer when used at the
rate for which they were intended.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the inuence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment.

the charger. Metal objects can make a
connection from one terminal to another
and could short the charging unit.
• Ensure that the terminals on the charger
are free of foreign objects such as dust
and water. If any dirt is found on the
terminals clean the terminals before
charging the battery pack.
• When the charger is not in use, store in
a location to prevent dust or dirt from
contaminating the terminals which may
cause a fault or short circuit.
• Position the charger on a work bench or
similar in a well ventilated location and
ensure that the charger cannot be covered
by workshop cloths etc.
• Plug the charger into a suitable power
socket. The green LED (L) will illuminate.
Note:
Sparks may be produced when the plug is
inserted into the power supply but this isn’t
a problem in terms of safety.
• Connect the battery pack into the
charger; line up the alignment channels
on the battery (M) with the corresponding
channels on the charger (N) and slide the
battery into place.
WARNING!
When a battery becomes
discharged due to prolonged
use or exposure to direct
sunlight or heat, always allow the battery
pack to cool down before recharging. This
will allow the battery to be recharged to its
full capacity.

• The red charging LED (O) will be
illuminated during charging. When
charging is completed an internal
electronic switch will automatically trigger
to prevent overcharging. Charging may
not start if the battery pack is warm (such
as immediately after sustained use).
• When charging is complete the red LED
(O) will extinguish and the green LED will
illuminate (K).
• Once charging is complete slide the
battery out of the charger, disconnect the
charger from power supply and store.
Charging Times
Normal charging time for the KWT-003-
25 5.0Ah battery pack is between 75-
90mins, but this can vary depending upon
circumstances.
• If the battery pack is not fully discharged
it may take less than 75 minutes to
recharge.
• If the battery pack and ambient
temperature are cold then recharging
could take up to and over 90 minutes.
• If the battery pack is very hot it may not
recharge. Allow it to cool right down
before beginning the charging process.
Charging Indicator
This charger is designed to detect
problems that can sometimes arise with
rechargeable battery packs. The status
of the LED’s can alert the operator to a
potential problem with the battery pack.
This will be either by the Green LED
staying illuminated when a discharged
battery is connected i.e the charger
remains in standby mode, or by the red
LED failing to turn o at the end of a
charge. If any issue is suspected with the
battery do not attempt to re-charge or
use it.
Note:
If battery pack failure is suspected, we
recommend that the operator inserts
a new battery of known quality into
the charger to check that the charger
is working correctly. If the new battery
charges correctly, then the original battery
is probably defective and should be sent
for safe recycling. If the new battery
pack displays the same problems as the
original, have the charger tested by a
qualied person.
