Important Charging Reminders
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if t he battery pack is c harged when the air temperature is
between 18 – 24°C. Do not charge the batt ery pack in a very low or ver y high air temperature. This is
important and will pr event serious damage to the battery pack.
When using your tool continuously, the batteries in your batter y pack will become hot. You should
let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge.
The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
Use the charger in norm al room temperatures whenever possible. To pr event overheating, do not cover the
charger and do not charge battery packs in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
Move charger and batt ery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 18
– 24°C.
If charging problems persist, take or send the tool, battery pack and charger to your local service centre.
The battery pack should be rec harged when it fails to produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You
may also charge a part ially used pack whenever you desire with no adverse effect on the battery pack.
Under certain conditi ons, with the charger plugged in to the power supply, the exposed charging contacts
inside the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as, but
no limited to, st eel wool, aluminium foil, or any build-up of metallic particles should be kept away from
charger c avities. A lways unplug the charger from the power supply when there is no battery pack in the
cavity. Unplug charger before attem pting t o clean.
Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARING! Don’t allo w a ny liquid to get inside charg er. Electric shock may result. To facilitate the cooli ng of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or batter y pack in a warm environment such as in a
metal shed, or an uninsulat ed trailer.
CAUTION! Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack
