CHARGING BATTERY PACK
The battery pack for this tool has been shipped in a low
charge condition to prevent possible problems. Therefore,
you should charge it prior to use.
NOTE: Batteries will not reach full charge the first time they
are charged. Allow several cycles (cutting followed by re-
charging) for them to fully charge.
Charge battery pack only with the charger provided.
Make sure power supply is normal house voltage,
240 Volts, 50 Hz, AC only.
Connect charger to power supply.
Place battery pack in charger.
See Figure A.
Align raised
rib on battery pack with groove in charger.
Press down on battery pack to be sure contacts on
battery pack engage properly with contacts in charger.
When properly connected, red light will turn on.
Normally, the yellow and green lights on the charger will
come on. This indicates charger is in control charge
mode and should switch to fast charge mode within 5
minutes. When charger is in fast charge mode the red
light will come on. If after a period of 15 minutes the
yellow and green lights remain on, remove the battery
pack, wait 1 minute and reinsert battery pack in charger.
If the yellow and green lights continue to remain on an
additional 15 minutes, the battery pack is damaged and
will not accept charge.
When your battery pack becomes fully charged, the red
light will turn off and the green light will turn on.
After normal usage, 1 hour of charge time is required to
be fully charged. A minimum charge time of 1 to 1-1/2
hours is required to recharge a completely discharged
tool.
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch
while charging. This is normal and does not indicate a
problem.
Do not place charger in an area of extreme heat or cold.
When the batteries become fully charged, unplug your
charger from power supply and remove the battery pack.
