CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Warning! Only charge in compatible 40V chargers.
Use of other chargers may result in fire, damage or
serious personal injury.
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition to prevent possible problems.
Therefore, you should charge it until the green LED on
the front left hand side of the charger remains a solid
green.
Note: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time
they are charged. Allow several cycles (operation
followed by recharging) for them to become fully
charged. First read the safety instructions then follow
the charging instructions. Plug the charger into a
standard 230V~50Hz mains socket outlet, the green
LED on the front left hand side of the charger will blink
to indicate it is ready to charge.
Do not allow the cable to become knotted or kinked.
Place the battery pack into the charger base.
(Note the battery has raised ribs which allows it to fit
into the charger only one way). Time the charge for 60
minutes only. Do not force the battery pack into the
charger.
The red LED on the front right hand side of the
charger will illuminate to indicate charging is in
progress. A green LED will illuminate continuously
when the battery is fully charged.
Allow Battery Pack to cool completely before use.
Unplug the charger when not in use and store it in a
suitable storage cabinet.
Avoid charging your battery in freezing conditions as
charging power will not be sufficient.
When charging more than one battery pack in
succession allow at least 30 minutes for the charger
to cool down before charging an additional battery.
Always remove the battery pack and store it safely
when the tool is not in use.
Caution: 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.
