OPERATION

Press down on the battery pack to be sure contacts
on the battery pack engage properly with contacts in
the charger.
Note:
After charging is complete, the green LED will
remain on until the battery pack is removed from the
charger or charger is disconnected from the power supply.

The battery pack will become slightly warm to the
touch while charging. This is normal and does not
indicate a problem.

Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area
of extreme heat or cold. They will work best at normal
room temperature.
Note:
The charger and battery pack should be placed
in a location where the temperature is more than
10°C but less than 38°C.

charger from the power supply and remove the
battery pack.

CHARGING A HOT BATTERY PACK
When using a tool continuously, the batteries in the
battery pack will become hot. You should let a hot battery
pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
Note:
This situation only occurs when continuous use
of a tool causes the batteries to become hot. It does not
occur under normal circumstances. Refer to "
CHARGING
A COOL BATTERY PACK
" for normal recharging of
batteries. If the charger does not charge your battery
pack under normal circumstances, return both the battery
pack and charger to your nearest Authorized Service
Center for electrical check.
