Charging the Battery

WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging
batteries will result in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently discharged battery.
However, if the battery (8) has been left in a discharged state for some
time, it may take up to 1.5 hours to charge.
1. Slide a fully or partially discharged battery onto the battery charger.
2. Once charging commences, the red LED will illuminate.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the green LED will illuminate.
If the battery is defective the red LED flashes!
Note: Make sure the battery and battery charger are lined up correctly.
If the battery does not slide onto the battery charger easily, do not force
it. Instead, remove the battery, check the top of battery and the battery
charger slot are clean and undamaged and that the contacts are not
bent.

Battery Charge Level

The battery has a built-in charge indicator. Pressing on
the button to the right will indicate the charge level. The
right LED indicates a high charge level and the left a
low charge level that will mean the battery pack will
require charging soon.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated be aware the tool
may stop operating while using the tool. In some instances this may be
dangerous. It is recommended to always ensure the battery pack has a
good charge level.

Notes about Battery Charging

10° C and 40° C (ideally around 20° C).
 After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use.
 Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after
use, and is stored correctly.
