5.1. Charging procedure
This charger is designed to charge JACTO batteries of the JB line.
1.
Remove the battery from the equipment.
2.
Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet before connecting the battery
pack. Make sure the AC cord is well attached to the charger.
3.
Connect the charger plug to the battery pack connector.
4.
The charge light will remain red/orange while charging.
5.
When battery pack is fully charged, charge light will change its color to
green.
6.
As soon as the battery is fully charged, disconnect the battery from the
charger.
7.
Unplug charger cord from outlet.
Recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible or battery life may be
greatly diminished. For longest battery life, do not discharge batteries fully.
It is recommended that the batteries be recharged after each use.
5.2. Important charging notes
•
DO NOT charge the battery pack in an air temperature below 0°C or above
45°C. This is important and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
•
The charger and battery pack may become warm to the touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem. To facilitate the
cooling of the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger or battery pack
in a warm environment such as in a shed.
•
Do not freeze or immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING:
For safe operation, read this manual and manuals
originally supplied with tool before using the charger.
When opening the tool package for the first time, the battery
pack will not be fully charged. Before using the battery pack
and charger, read the safety instructions below. Then follow
charging procedures outlined.
6. Important Safety Instructions for Battery Packs
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not incinerate the battery pack even if it is severely damaged or is
completely worn out.
The battery pack can explode in a fire. Toxic fumes and
materials are created when battery packs are burned.
• Do not charge or use battery in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Inserting or removing the bat-
tery from the charger may ignite the dust or fumes.
• If battery contents come in to contact with the skin, immediately wash
area with mild soap and water.
If battery liquid gets into the eye, rinse water
over the open eye for 15 minutes or until irritation ceases. If medical attention is
needed, the battery electrolyte for Li-ion batteries is composed of a mixture of liq-
uid organic carbonates and lithium salts.
• Contents of opened battery cells may cause respiratory irritation.
Provide
fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
• Disposal of used batteries must be made at appropriate points and ap-
proved for receiving such material.
If a recycling center is not available in your
area please contact CUSTOMER SERVICE: Dr. Luiz Miranda Street, 1650 CEP 17580-
000 - Pompeia - SP - e-mail: [email protected]
WARNING!
Burn hazard.
Battery liquid may be flammable if exposed
to spark or flame.
• Charge the battery packs only in
JACTO
chargers.
• DO NOT splash or immerse in water or other liquids.
This may cause premature cell failure.
• Do not store or use the tool and battery pack in
locations where the temperature may reach or
exceed 113°F (45 ºC).
• Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason.
If battery pack case is cracked or damaged, do not
connect to charger. Do not crush, drop or damage
battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or charger that
has been dropped, run over or damaged in any way
(i.e., pierced with a nail, hit with a hammer, stepped
on). Damaged battery packs should be returned to
service center for recycling.
• Fire hazard.
Do not store or carry battery so that met-
al objects can contact exposed battery terminals.
For example, do not place battery in aprons, pockets, tool
boxes, product kit boxes, drawers, etc., with loose nails,
screws, keys, etc.
Transporting batteries can possibly
cause fires if the battery terminals inadvertently
come in contact with conductive materials such as
keys, coins, hand tools and the like.
Certain regulations
prohibit transporting batteries on airplanes (i.e., packed
in suitcases and carry-on luggage) UNLESS they are prop-
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size
(AWG or American Wire Gauge) for safety.
When using
more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the
minimum wire size. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current that product
will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending
on cord length and nominal current presented in the label
of the charger mentioned in this manual. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge.
