CHARGING MODE SELECTION
This device is capable of charging up to four rechargeable
batteries with a choice of two modes.
Rechargeable batteries can be charged in any of the
ports, both in normal mode and in Multi Mode.
When the mode selector switch is off, batteries are
charged in normal mode. When the switch is on, they are
charged in Multi Mode. (Fig. 2)

Normal Mode (Mode selector switch off)
Rechargeable batteries are charged in the order of the
port numbers (1→2→3→4). (Fig. 3)
The charge indicator lamp turns green when the
corresponding rechargeable battery is fully charged, and
the buzzer emits a beep to notify the user.
The time taken to fully charge all batteries will be the total
of the charging time for each battery.
In the example shown in Table 1, the time taken to fully
charge the battery in port number 2 will be the total time
taken to charge the batteries in port numbers 1 and 2 (32
minutes + 52 minutes = 84 minutes).
Tip
Rechargeable batteries you wish to use soon should
be inserted in order from port number 1.
Multi Mode (Mode selector switch on)
All batteries will be charged simultaneously. The charge
indicator lamps turn green when all rechargeable
batteries are fully charged, and the buzzer emits a beep
to notify the user.
In the example shown in Table 1, it will take 152 minutes
to fully charge all four batteries simultaneously.

General points applying to both modes
○ The battery currently being charged is the port
indicated by the steady red illuminated charge
indicator lamp.
○ Batteries that are hot immediately after being used or
cold due to low-temperature conditions take longer
to charge, so they are skipped and charged after the
other batteries.
○ If charging is taking a long time, press the selector
switch twice.
This resets the charger, reassesses batteries that
are either hot immediately after use or cold due to
low-temperature conditions, and skips them before
resuming charging.
Normal mode
○ If a battery is inserted in a port with a lower number
(i.e., higher priority) port while other batteries are
being charged, charging of the newly inserted battery
will start after the battery currently being charged has
been fully charged.
Multi mode
○ If rechargeable batteries are used before they are fully
charged, the level of charging may vary from battery to
battery.
○ Inserting a depleted battery into a vacant port while
ON
other batteries are being charged will increase the
time taken to charge all the batteries.
CHARGING
Before using the power tool, charge the battery as follows.
1. Connect the charger's power cord to the
receptacle.
When connecting the plug of the charger to a
receptacle, the charge indicator lamp will blink in red
(At 1-second intervals).
2. Select the charging mode.
Select the charging mode to suit requirements.
(Fig. 2) (See "CHARGING MODE SELECTION" on
page 12.)
3. Insert the battery into the charger.
Firmly insert the battery into the charger as shown in
Fig. 4.
NOTE
The charging lamps next to each of the four ports
indicate the charging status of the corresponding
battery being charged.
4. Charging
When inserting a battery in the charger, the charge
indicator lamp will light up in red.
When the battery becomes fully recharged, the charge
indicator lamp will light up in green. (See Table 2)
(1) Charge indicator lamp indication
The indications of the charge indicator lamp will be
as shown in Table 2, according to the condition of the
charger or the rechargeable battery.
