USE
• Charging battery e
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
! unplug the charger from the tool after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- do not charge at temperatures below 0°C and over
45°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well as
the charger
! a battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles
- connect charger B with both wall socket and contact C
- charging light D turns on indicating that the tool is
being charged
- charge the battery for at least 5 hours, after which the
battery may be used (red light D will stay on)
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a few
minutes of operation; this may result in a reduction of
operating time and battery efficiency
- the battery must be kept separate from the natural
environment and should not be disposed of as normal
domestic waste (symbol w will remind you of this
when the need for disposing occurs)
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool, it
is best to unplug the charger from its power source
