ENGLISH
Note: The charger will not charge a battery if the cell
temperature is below approximately 10 °C or above 40 °C.
The battery should be left in the charger and the charger
will begin to charge automatically when the cell tempera-
ture warms up or cools down.
To charge the battery (11), remove it from the tool and
u
insert it into the charger (12). The battery will only fit into
the charger in one way. Do not force. Be sure that the
battery is fully seated in the charger.
Plug in the charger and switch on at the mains.
u
The charging indicator (24) will flash green continuously
u
(slowly).
The charge is complete when the charging indicator (24)
lights green continuously. The charger and the battery can
be left connected indefinitely with the LED illuminated. The
LED will change to flashing green (charging) state as the
charger occasionally tops off the battery charge. The charging
indicator (24) will be lit as long as the battery is connected to
the plugged-in charger.
Charge discharged batteries within 1 week. Battery life
u
will be greatly diminished if stored in a discharged state.
Leaving the battery in the charger
The charger and battery pack can be left connected
indefinitely with the LED lit. The charger will keep the battery
pack fresh and fully charged.
Charger diagnostics
If the charger detects a weak or damaged battery, the
charging indicator (24) will flash red at a fast rate. Proceed
as follows:
Re-insert the battery (11).
u
If the charging indicator continues flashing red at a fast
u
rate, use a different battery to determine if the charging
process works properly.
If the replaced battery charges correctly, the original
u
battery is defective and should be returned to a service
centre for recycling.
If the new battery gives the same indication as the original
u
battery, take the charger to be tested at an authorised
service centre.
Note: It may take as long as 60 minutes to determine that
the battery is defective. If the battery is too hot or too
cold, the LED will alternately blink red, fast and slow, one
flash at each speed and repeat.
