WALL MOUNTING
See Fig. 4
■Carefully select a stable wall for mounting the charger.
Make sure that there is no hindrance to mounting work
or operation. The maximum gross weight of the charger
is approximately 9.7 kg, provide sufficient reinforcement
for the wall if necessary.
■Mount the charger in a vertical or horizontal orientation
only. Install two screws on the wall to mount the charger.
Otherwise, the charger may fall and cause serious injury.
■Check the tightness of the screws on a regular basis.
Make sure that the head of the screws fit properly in
the wall mounting holes to hold the charger firmly in
place. Otherwise, the charger may fall because of loose
screws.
OPERATION
See Fig. 5
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
■Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition.
Therefore, you should charge them before first use.
If the charger does not charge the battery pack under
normal circumstances, bring both the battery pack and
charger to an authorised service centre.
■Make sure that the power supply is normal household
voltage, 220–240V, 50/60Hz, AC only.
■Make sure that the battery pack latch clicks into place
and that the battery pack is secured in the charger
before charging.
NOTE: The charger recharges the battery packs at each
port one at a time, from the port closest to the power cord
connector to the farthest port. If a battery pack is currently
charging and additional battery packs are inserted, the
charger completes recharging the rst battery pack before
recharging the additional battery packs.

Original Instructions
NOTE: When the battery becomes fully charged, the green
LED is on for 10 minutes. It is normal for the battery pack to
become slightly warm to touch while charging.
■Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of
extreme heat or cold. They work best at normal room
temperature.
NOTE: When charging, the charger and battery pack should
be placed in a location where the temperature is more than
10°C but less than 25°C.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
See Fig. 2
1. Align the raised rib on the battery pack with the groove in
the product, and slide in the battery pack. Make sure that
the battery pack latch clicks into place.
2. Connect the product to a power supply.
See Fig.3
1. Disconnect the product from the power supply when the
battery pack becomes fully charged.
2. Press the battery pack latch to unlock the battery pack
from the product.
3. Slide the battery pack off the product.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the cells in the battery pack
become hot. A hot battery pack should be allowed to cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before recharging.
MAINTENANCE
■When not using or when cleaning the product, disconnect
it from the power supply and remove the battery pack.

plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents. Use clean cloth or soft brush to remove dirt
and dust.
■Do not, at any time, let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, and penetrating oils come in contact
with plastic parts. These products contain chemicals that
can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
■Hazardous voltages are present within the product; do
not disassemble.
■If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer
or its service agent.
