Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger manufacturer
may result in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Before using the device check that the mains cableand mains plug are not damaged.
Do not use the device if it has suffered any heavy shock or jolting, or is damaged in any
other way.
Due to the heat generated during charging, the battery charger should not be operated
on a combustible surface/in an inflammable environment.
Do not cover the ventilating slits.
Never disassemble the device yourself.
Pull the plug of the battery charger out of the socket when it is not in use or when
cleaning it.
Only use extension cables that are approved and technically in perfect condition.
During operation provide sufficient ventilation.
Malfunction during charging can be caused by storing and operating in places where the
temperature e40°C; this should be avoided. Battery charging in closed
cupboards, near heat sources (radiators, bright sunshine) etc., causes heat to accumulate
and can damage the device.
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.
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the charger and battery,
charge only MH lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Other types of batteries may burst,
causing personal injury or damage.
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this
manual, on battery charger, battery, and product using battery to prevent misuse of the

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.
This charger is designed to be used indoors. We do not recommend that it is used inside
your home.
Ideally batteries should be charged on a bench in a workshop, garage or shed. If the
charging operation is to be carried out in your home the area must be well ventilated
and the charger must be placed on a non combustible surface ensuring that the ventilation
slots are not blocked. Never exceed the charging time except when “Conditioning” a
new battery, as this could damage the battery and charger.
NOTE:
If the charger does not charge the battery pack under normal circumstances, return
both the battery pack and charger to the nearest MH authorised service centre for electri-
cal check.
