CAUTION:
To prevent the risk of fire or damage
to the battery charger.
• Do not cover vent holes on the
charger and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in
use.
NOTE:
Your battery pack is not fully
charged at the time of purchase.
Be sure to charge the battery
before use.
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.

the charger.

place the battery onto the dock

2) Slide forward in the direction of
the arrow.
Alignment marks
3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be lit.
When charging is completed, an
internal electronic switch will auto-
matically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the bat-
tery pack is warm (for example,
immediately after heavy-duty
operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
flashing until the battery cools
down.
Charging will then begin auto-
matically.
4. The charge lamp (green) will flash
slowly once the battery is approxi-
mate ly 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
longer to fully charge the battery
pack than the standard charging
time.
Even when the battery is fully
charg ed, 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
insert ed into the charger again, the
charging lamp lights up. After sev-
eral minutes, the charging lamp in
green color will turn off.
