2. Connect to 240v AC outlet, a green light
indicates power is on.
3. Install battery, red light indicates battery is charging.
NOTE:
If battery is completely discharged, the red
light and the green light may alternate back and
forth for up to 20 minutes. This safety feature slowly
recharges the battery until it is ready to accept the
full charging current. If the red and green lights
continue to alter nate after 20 minutes, the battery
may be damaged.
4. After charging is complete, the green light will come on.
CHARGING TIMES
First charge (new battery) - 1 hour
Discharged Battery - 5 minutes to 1 hour
DO NOT:
Charge battery outdoors, in exposed wet
conditions, or in temperatures below 5°C
(40°F).
Allow metal objects to come in contact with
battery terminals.
Puncture or attempt to open battery case
or cells.
Store battery where it will be subjected to
temperatures above 49°C (120°F).
Incinerate battery.
Use a defective battery charger, one that
over-heats and/or smokes when plugged in.
Immerse the battery in water.
Do not short-circuit a battery.
Do not use a battery charger which heats
up excessively or gives off fumes when
connected - disconnect the charger
immediately.
The power adapter, charger base and battery are
designed to operate together as one system. Only use the
‘Paslode Impulse’ charger for ‘Paslode Impulse’ batteries.
The charging system is designed for use in covered areas.
Do not expose it to rain or to excessive humidity.
Arrange the charger lead appropriately to avoid
unnecessary damage. Do not use the charger if the cable
or plug is damaged. Replace immediately.
To avoid electrocution, disconnect the power supply
adapter before cleaning the terminals and contacts.
