Charging The Battery Pack
CAUTION!
• The charger is designed to
operate on standard domestic
electrical power as shown on
the rating plate. Charge only on
the voltage indicated on the rating plate e.g.
230v/50Hz.
• Do not attempt to use it on any other
voltage or frequency rating!
• If the temperature of the battery pack is
extremely low, charging may automatically
stop to prevent degradation of the battery.
• The ambient temperature range for
charging is between 0°C and 40°C. The
battery pack may not work if the temperature
is outside these parameters.
• When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C) in a warm place, leave the
battery pack at the place and wait for more
than one hour to warm up the battery to the
ambient temperature.
• Allow the charger to cool in between
charges, when charging more than two
battery packs consecutively.
• Do not insert your fingers onto the
contact area at any time.
• 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.
• Take care to ensure metal objects
such as nails, coins etc are kept away from
the charger. Metal objects can make a
connection from one terminal to another and
could short the charging unit.
• Ensure that the terminals on the charger
are free of foreign objects such as dust and
water. If any dirt is found on the terminals
clean the terminals before charging the
battery pack.
• When the charger is not in use, store
in a location to prevent dust or dirt from
contaminating the terminals which may
cause a fault or short circuit.
• Position the charger on a work bench
or similar in a well ventilated location and
ensure that the charger cannot be covered
by workshop cloths etc.
• Plug the charger into a suitable power
socket. The green LED (O) will illuminate, the
charger is now in standby mode and ready
for a battery to be connected.
Note:
Sparks may be produced when the plug is
inserted into the power supply but this isn’t a
problem in terms of safety.
• Connect the battery p ack into the
charger; line up the alignment channels
on the battery (P) with the corresponding
channels on the charger (Q) and slide the
battery into place.
WARNING!
When a battery becomes
discharged due to prolonged
use or exposure to direct sunlight or heat,
always allow the battery pack to cool down
before recharging. This will allow the battery
to be recharged to its full capacity.
