CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Battery packs are shipped in a low charge condition to prevent
possible problems. Therefore, you should charge them until
the green LED on the front of the charger comes on.
CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the battery
pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery pack cool
down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to
recharge.
NOTE:
This situation only occurs when continuous use of a
tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not occur
under normal circumstances. Refer to CHARGING A COOL
BATTERY PACK for normal recharging of batteries. If the
charger does not charge the battery pack under normal
circumstances, return both the battery pack and the charger
to your nearest authorised service centre for electrical check.
CHARGING A COOL BATTERY PACK
Only charge the 58 V AEG Li-Ion battery packs with this
charger. Make sure the power supply is normal household
voltage, 220-240 V, 50 Hz, AC only. Make sure the battery
pack latch snaps into place and the battery pack is secured in
the charger before beginning operation.
1. Connect the charger to the power supply.
2. Place the battery pack in the charger, aligning the raised
rib on the battery pack with the groove in the charger.
3. Slide in the battery pack to be sure contacts on the battery
pack engage properly with contacts in the charger.
NOTE:
After charging is complete, the green charger LED
will remain on until the battery pack is removed from the
charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem. Do not place the charger and the battery pack
in an area of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at
normal room temperature.
NOTE:
The charger and battery pack should be placed in
a location where the temperature is more than 10°C but
less than 38°C.
4. When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger
from the power supply and remove the battery pack.
To remove the battery pack from the charger, depress the
battery pack latch.
BATTERY PROTECTION FEATURES
AEG 58 V lithium-ion batteries are designed with features that
protect the lithium-ion cells and maximize battery life. If the
tool stops during use, release the trigger to reset and resume
operation. If the tool still does not work, the battery needs to
be recharged.
WARNING! If at any point during the charging process
none of the LEDs are lit, remove the battery pack from
the charger to avoid damaging the product.
Do not insert
another battery. Return the charger and battery to your nearest
service centre for service or replacement.
MAINTENANCE
There are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside the
battery or charger. Both should be returned to an authorised
service centre for specialised attention.
WARNING! Risk of injury. Service, testing and repairs
should only be carried out by authorised service centres.
We recommend our customer service department or authorised
service centres.
CLEANING THE CHARGER
WARNING! Unplug the charger power cord from the
power supply before cleaning to prevent serious personal
injury.
■
Clean the charger surface (except labels) using a damp
cloth with a mild detergent.
■
Do not use any strong detergents on the plastic housing.
They can be damaged by certain aromatic oil such as pine
and lemon, and by solvents such as kerosene.
■
Moisture can cause a shock hazard. Wipe off any moisture
with a soft dry cloth.
■
Use a small brush or the air discharge of a small vacuum
cleaner brush to clean the air vents on the charger.
■
Keep the air vents free of obstructions.
STORAGE
Store your charger in a cool dry place between 10 and 25 °C.
It is not recommended to leave it in a vehicle during hot or cold
conditions. Ensure no metal filings or swarf can fall into the
vents during storage, as this may cause serious injury when
it is next used.
