CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
1. CHARGING YOUR BATTERY PACK (NOT
SUPPLIED)
WARNING: The charger and battery pack are
specifically designed to work together so do
not attempt to use any other devices. Never insert
or allow metallic objects into your charger or
battery pack connections because an electrical
failure and hazard will occur.
2. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS
TOOL
Your battery pack is UNCHARGED and you must
charge once before use.
3. HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY (NOT
SUPPLIED) (SEE FIG. A)

EN
- CHARGING PROCEDURE
1) Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet.
2) Slide the battery pack into the charger. Normally,
the relevant indication lights will flash in green
color showing the battery is being charged.
WARNING: When battery charge runs out
after continuous use or exposure to direct
sunlight or heat, allow time for the battery to
cool down before re-charging to achieve the full
charge.
A
- CHARGING INDICATOR
This charger is designed to detect some problems
that can arise with battery packs. Indicator lights
indicate problems (see table below). If this occurs,
insert a new battery pack to determine if the
charger is OK. If the new battery charges correctly,
then the original pack is defective and should be
returned to a service center or recycling service
center. If the new battery pack displays the same
problem as the original Battery Pack, have the
charger tested at an authorized service center.

- BATTERY TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
This charger has a battery temperature protection
feature. When the charger detects a battery pack
that is too hot or cold (the light will be red and
flash), it automatically activates the protection
circuit, and suspends charging until the battery
pack has reached the correct temperature. The
charging process will then automatically begin (the
light will be green and flash). This feature ensures
maximum battery life.
- DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACKS
This charger will detect a defective battery pack.
When a defective battery pack is inserted into the
charger, the charger will try to repair it. This process
will last about 30mins (the light will be green and
flash). If the repair is successful, the charger will
automatically begin to charge the battery pack to
the highest capacity possible (the light will be green
and flash). If the light becomes solid red, then the
battery pack is dead, and should be returned to a
service center or recycling service center.
IMPORTANT CHARGING
NOTES
1. For a new battery or a battery that has been
in storage for sometime, please recharge the
battery before use. If you want to store the
battery for a long time, please fully charge the
battery pack to ensure maximum battery life.
2. Longer life and better performance can be
obtained if the battery pack is charged when the
air temperature is between 650F (18°C) and
750F (24°C). Do not charge the battery pack in air
temperatures below 320F (0°C), or above 1040F
(40°C). This is important as it can prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
3. Never freeze your charger or immerse charger in
water or any other liquid.
4. When the battery pack fails to produce sufficient
power on jobs that were previously done easily,
please recharge you battery, do not continue
to use under this condition. You may charge a
partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse affect on the battery pack.
5. When charging it is normal that the charger and
battery pack may become warm to touch.
6. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
• Check current at power outlet by plugging in
another appliance.
• Plug and unplug to check whether the charger is
ok
• Check whether the battery has been damaged
• Move the charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is
approximately 650F~750F (18°C~24°C).
• If the charging problem persists, take the tool,
battery pack and charger to an authorized
service center.
• Under certain conditions, when the charger is
plugged into the power supply, the exposed
charging contacts inside the charger can be
shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of
a conductive nature such as metallic particles
