2) The ambient temperature range is
EN
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C
(32°F), the tool may fail to function
properly.
3) Use the charger at temperatures
between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F),
and charge the battery at a
temperature similar to that of the
battery itself. (There should be no
more than a 15°C (59°F) difference
between the temperatures of the
battery and the charging location.)
4) When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (32°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place and
wait for more than one hour to warm
up the battery to the level of the
ambient temperature.
5) Cool down the charger when charging
more than two battery packs
consecutively.
6) Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any
other occasions.
7) Unplug the charger when not in use.
8) Store the charger between 0 and 40
degrees, and charge the battery pack
at a temperature close to the storage
temperature.
• If the battery pack is charged while
at a temperature below 0 degrees, a
full charge will give only around 50%
of a normal charge. Commence
charging after 1 hour or more at the
prescribed temperature.
9) Do not charge in a poorly ventilated
place.
10) Do not cover the battery pack or
charger with a cloth or the like while
charing is in progrress.
NOTE:
Your battery pack is not fully charged at
the time of purchase. Be sure to charge
the battery before use.
How to charge
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
NOTE:
Sparks may be produced when the plug
is inserted into the AC power supply, but
this is not a problem in terms of safety.
2. Connect the battery pack firmly into the
charger.
(1) Line up the alignment marks and
place the battery onto the dock on
the charger.
NOTE:
Not all battery packs display the
alignment mark [Fig. 9] (on page 5).
(2) Slide forward in the direction of the
arrow. [Fig. 9
3. During charging, the charging lamp will
be lit. When charging is completed, an
internal electronic switch will
automatically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery
pack is hot (for example, immediately
after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
flashing until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automatically.
4. The charge lamp (green) will flash
slowly once the battery is approximately
80% charged.
5. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp in green color will turn off.
6. If the temperature of the battery pack is
0°C (32°F) or less, charging takes
longer to fully charge the battery pack
than the standard charging time.
Even when the battery is fully charged, it
will have approximately 50% of the
power of a fully charged battery at
normal operating temperature.
7. Consult an authorized dealer if the
charging lamp (green) does not turn off.
8. If a fully charged battery pack is inserted
into the charger again, the charging
lamp lights up. After several minutes,
the charging lamp in green color will turn
off.
9. Remove the battery pack while the
battery pack release button is held up.
