OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to
prevent possible problems. Therefore, you should charge
them before rst use. If the charger does not charge your
battery pack under normal circumstances, return both
the battery pack and charger to your nearest authorised
service center for electrical check.
Do not charge nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery packs. When
a NiCd battery pack is inserted, the red LED will light up
and green LED will be off.
Make sure the power supply is normal household voltage,
220–240 V, 50 Hz 50 W, AC only.
NOTE: After charging is complete, the green LED will
remain on until the battery pack is removed from the
charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of
extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal room
temperature.
NOTE: The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but
less than 38°C.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack
cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting
to recharge.

or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or
leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further
advice.
