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
supply, but this is not a problem in
terms of safety.
2. Connect the battery pack firmly in-
to the charger.
1 Line up the alignment marks and
place the battery onto the dock
on the charger.
2 Slide forward in the direction of
the arrow.
3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be illuminated.
When charging is completed, an in-
ternal electronic switch will automat-
ically be triggered to prevent over-
charging.
•
Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immedi-
ately after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
flashing until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automatically.
Alignment marks
4. The charge lamp (green) will
flash 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 long-
er 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 operating temper-
ature.
7. Consult an authorized dealer if the
charging lamp (green) does not turn
off.
8. If a fully charged battery pack is in-
serted into the charger again, the
charging lamp lights up. After sev-
eral minutes, the charging lamp in
green color will turn off.
9. Remove the battery pack while the
battery pack release button is held
up.
