4. BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS
1. CHARGING
WARNING
• Before removing the Battery pack from the
tool, press the Safety Lock switch as
shown in the Fig.P, and keep hands away
from the Trigger switch(Fig. A5).
1 (Fig. D) A Pack cap(Fig. D 13) that is used
to prevent short circuits must be removed
from the terminal of the Battery pack.
(Fig. E) When charging the Battery pack,
remove it from the tool by pushing on its
latches (Fig. E 16) from both sides while
firmly holding the grip of the tool.
2 (Fig. F) Plug the charger into a wall sock-
et (100V - 240V).
The red light, a current-carrying indica-
tor, (Fig. F 20) will flash on and off with
two short (Pipi) beep sounds.
WHEN THE ORANGE STANDBY
LIGHT IS LIT
When the Battery pack is hot (after continuous
use or exposure to direct sunlight) the Charger
will automatically switch to standby to protect the
Battery. The orange standby light will be lit until
the Battery's temperature lowers to a safe level,
The Battery will then be charged automatically.
WHEN THE BATTERY PACK IS AT
LOW TEMPERATURE
When the Battery pack is at low temperature, its
charging is automatically suspended until its
temperature increases (higher than 5°C (41°F)),
in order to protect it, even if it is set in the Charg-
er.
Leave the Battery pack at normal temperature in
the room for some time, and then, charge it
again.
WHEN THE ORANGE STANDBY
LIGHT BLINKS
This indicates the Battery cannot be charged.
Unplug the Charger and check the charging re-
ceptacle. If there are any foreign objects, remove
them with a soft dry cloth. If the orange light still
blinks or there are no foreign objects, there may
be a problem with the battery or charger. Return
to dealer for service.
3 (Fig. G) Charge the Battery pack.
(1) Fully insert the Battery into the receptacle on
the Charger until it sits securely on the end.
(2) Charging will start automatically and will be
indicated by the red charging light with
beeps.
(3) Charging time is approximately 35 minutes
(90% capacity). This will vary by temperature
and source voltage.
(4) For batteries those are at low temperatures
(10°C (50°F) or lower), charging time must
be extended longer. When charging at low
temperatures, both of the red and the orange
charging light will be lit.
4 (Fig. H) When the battery pack has been
recharged, the "red" lamp turns off and
the "green" lamp blinks.
The "green" LED lamp(Fig. H 20) blinks
slowly and a long beep sounds for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. Now, the battery
has been recharged to approximately
90% of its capacity. Quick charging takes
approximately 35 minutes (however, the
recharging time and capacity slightly
change depending on the ambient tem-
perature and power voltage).
(Fig. I) You can use the battery pack when
quick charging is complete. However, if you
leave the battery pack on the charger, re-
charging will continue. When the battery is
fully recharged (to 100% capacity), the
"green" LED lamp lights up (and a long beep
sounds for approximately 2 seconds).
(1) (Fig. J) After you have recharged the battery
pack, remove it from the charger.
(2) (Fig. K) Unplug the charger power cord from
the wall socket.
CAUTION
• When the battery pack is fully discharged,
do not leave it for a long time without re-
charging. If the fully discharged battery
pack is removed from the system and left
for a long time, the battery pack may be-
