2) The ambient temperature range is be-
tween 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 and 40 °C, and charge the battery at
a temperature similar to that of the battery
itself. (There should be no more than a
15°C difference between the tempera-
tures 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 tem-
perature.
5) Cool down the charger when
charging more than two battery packs
consecutively.
6) Do not insert your fi ngers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any other
occasions.
7) To prevent the risk of fi re or damage to
the battery charger.
• Do not cover vent holes on the charger
and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in use.
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 sup-
ply, but this is not a problem in terms
of safety.
2. Connect the battery pack fi rmly 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 (H) (on page 2).

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 fl ashing
until the battery cools down. Charging
will then begin automatically.
4. The charge lamp (green) will fl ash 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 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 operat-
ing temperature.
7. Consult an authorized dealer if the
charging lamp (green) does not turn off.
8. If a fully charged battery pack is insert-
ed 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.
