NOTE:
If the battery pack is locked in the charger, press
the battery pack release button and remove it.
Warning! The charger and battery pack are
specially designed to work together so do not attempt
to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic
objects into your charger or battery pack connections
because an electrical failure and hazard will occur.
WARNING: When battery charge runs out after
continuous use or exposure to direct sunlight or heat,
allow time for the tool to cool down before re-charging
to achieve the full charge.

2. DEFECTIVE BATTERY PACKS
This charger will detect a defective battery pack. When
a defective battery pack is inserted into the charger, the
charger will try to repair it. This process will last about 30
minutes (the light will be green and flash). If the repair is
successful, the charger will automatically begin to charge the
battery pack to the highest capacity possible (the light will be
green and flash). If the light becomes solid red, the battery
pack is dead.
NOTE: Repaired battery packs are still usable but should not
be expected to perform as much work as new battery packs.
3. BATTERY TEMPERATURE PROTECTION
This charger has a battery temperature protection feature.
When the charger detects a battery pack that is too hot or
cold (the light will be red and flash), it automatically activates
the protection circuit and suspends charging until the battery
pack has reached the correct temperature. The charging
process will then automatically begin (the light will be green
and flash). This feature ensures maximum battery life.
4. IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES:
4.1
For a new battery or a battery that has been in
storage for some time, please recharge the battery before
use. If you want to store the battery for a long time, please
fully charge the battery pack to ensure maximum battery life.
4.2
Longer life and better performance can be obtained
if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 to 24 °C (65 to 75 °F). Do not charge the battery
pack in air temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), or above 40 °C
(104 °F). This is important as it can prevent serious damage
to the battery pack.
4.3
Never freeze your charger or immerse charger in
water or any other liquid.
4.4
When the battery pack fails to produce sufficient
power on jobs that were previously done easily, please
recharge your battery, do not continue to use under this
condition. You may charge a partially used pack whenever
you desire with no adverse affect on the battery pack.
4.5
When charging it is normal that the charger and
battery pack may become warm to touch.
4.6
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
o
Check current at power outlet by plugging in another
appliance.
o
Plug and unplug to check whether the charger is ok.
o
Check whether the battery has been damaged.
o
Move the charger and battery pack to a location
where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 18
to 24 oC (65 to 75 oF).
o
If the charging problem persists, contact Masport
service dealer.
o
Under certain conditions, when the charger is
plugged into the power supply, the exposed charging
contacts inside the charger can be shorted by foreign
material. Foreign materials of a conductive nature such as
metallic particles should be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the charger or before attempting
to clean.
