CHARGING THE BATTERY
Fig. E
The FASL-1800K2 battery charger is only suitable for
charging batteries of type FASB-1800K2.
•
Place the battery (5) inside the charger (11), as
shown on the illustration. Pay attention to + and -
pole markings.
•
Insert the charger plug into a power socket. The red
rapid charging lamp (12) should now be illuminated.
•
As soon as the green trickle charging lamp (13) lights
up, charging has been completed and the device is
ready for operation.
Only use the charger in a dry environment at
temperatures between 10˚C and 40˚C.
The battery in your drill was not charged up at the
factory. Before using it for the first time, you should
charge it for approx. 1 – 2 hours so that it reaches full
capacity.
The final capacity of the battery is reached after 4 – 5
battery cycles.
DISCHARGING THE BATTERY
Not only charging batteries is important,
discharging is of equal importance or even greater
importance.
•
When the battery is charged the cordless drill has to
be used until you start noticing that the power of the
drill is diminishing and that the maximum rotational
speed is not reached.
•
The battery is almost discharged now. Only now you
can start charging the battery.
•
Charging the battery while it is still charged for say
one-third of capacity, the so-called 'memory effect'
can occur. Since during charging only the discharged
part of the battery capacity of the battery is being
charged now, the battery can start crystallizing in the
one-third that is still charged. This part of the battery
capacity can never be used afterwards.
•
Do not discharge the battery to the minimum. As
soon as you notice that the power or the maximum
rotational speed is diminishing, you have to charge
the battery. When you proceed using the drill and
the battery becomes fully discharged, the so-called
'switch of poles effect' can occur. The polarity of the
battery poles will be switched: the '+'will become '-'
and the '-' will become the '+'. Once this has
occurred the polarity will remain switched during
loading and this will damage the battery irreparable.
When the cordless drill is not being used over a
longer period of time, the battery has to be charged
fully first. The battery has to be stored in charged condition.
