If the battery is not going to be used for a longer
period, pull the battery off the battery charger and pull
out the mains plug.
Protect battery contact to avoid a short circuit caused
by metallic object that can cause a fire or explosion!
Only charge original recommended batteries.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
an Authorised Service Center in order to avoid a
hazard.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BATTERIES
Please read and observe these instructions before
using the product.
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a
low charge condition. You should charge the battery
pack fully before use.
Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is
seriously damaged or can no longer hold a charge.
The battery pack can explode in a fire.
Batteries can explode in the presence of a source of
ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, never use any cordless
product in the presence of open flame. An exploded
battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed,
flush with water immediately.
Do not crush, drop or damage battery pack. Do not
use a battery pack or charger that has been dropped
or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery is
subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or
damaged battery immediately.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery pack may
occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions.
This does not necessarily indicate a failure of the
battery pack. However, if the outer seal is broken and
this leakage comes into contact with your skin wash
the affected area quickly with soap and water. If the
leakage gets in your eyes flush your eyes with clean
water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek
immediate medical attention.
Inform the medical staff that the liquid is a 25-35%
solution of potassium hydroxide.
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any
reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack
breaks open or cracks, immediately discontinue its
use and do not recharge it.
Do not store or carry a spare battery pack in a pocket
or toolbox or any other place where it may come into
contact with metal objects. The battery pack may be
short- circuited causing damage to the battery pack,
burns or a fire.
Do not charge battery tool in a damp or wet location.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric
shock.
For best results, charge the battery tool in a location
where the temperature is more than 10°C but less
than 37°C. To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, do not store outside or in vehicles.
BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION
Charging rates for NiCad and/or Li-Ion battery
charging rates are determined by the time taken to
fully charge the battery and are determined by the
charge current. The three most commonly used
charging rates are typically:
Fast charge.
Slow charge.
Trickle charge.
FAST CHARGE BATTERIES
The charging rates for fast charge batteries can vary
between 30 minutes and 90 minutes. The charging
rate for the battery supplied with a cordless power
tool is stated in the product manual.
SLOW CHARGE BATTERY
The charging rates for slow charge batteries are
between 3 hours and 5 hours.
TRICKLE CHARGE BATTERIES
The charging rates for trickle charge batteries are
between 7 hours and 9 hours.
IMPORTANT!
NICAD AND/OR LI-ION BATTERY CHARGING
INFORMATION.
ALWAYS FULLY DISCHARGE A NiCad and/or Li-
Ion BATTERY BEFORE CHARGING AND NEVER
EXCEED THE CHARGING RATE TIME, EXCEPT
WHEN “CONDITIONING” A NEW BATTERY.
CHARGING PROCEDURE
When charging a new NiCad and/or Li-Ion battery it
should be fully discharged followed by a full charge
for the charging rate for the battery as stated in the
product manual plus 30 minutes. This should then be
followed by a full discharge and a further full charge
for the charging rate for the battery as stated in the
product manual plus 30 minutes. This procedure will
condition the battery and equalise the cell voltages.
Following this procedure will ensure the optimum
operation of the battery.
When repeatedly using the charger to charge a
number of batteries always allow the charger to cool
down before charging another battery. It is
recommended that the cooling down period is not
less than 30 to 45 minutes.
When charging a battery that has been discharged
during heavy use allow the battery to cool down
before charging. It is recommended that the cooling
down period is not less than 30 to 45 minutes.
NOTE: If the charger does not charge the battery pack
under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to the nearest FXA authorised
service centre for electrical check.
