Battery & charger safety features
The Battery and Charger are fitted with a number of safety features which
may be triggered during charging or operation:
• Over-charge protection: Charger automatically switches off when
the Battery has reached full charge capacity, protecting the internal
components of the battery
•
Over-discharge protection: Prevents the Battery from discharging
beyond the recommended lowest safety voltage
• Over-heat protection: Sensor switches off if the Battery becomes
too hot during operation. This can happen if the tool is overloaded
or being used for extended periods of time. Up to 30 minutes
cooling time may be required depending on the ambient
temperature
•
Overload protection: Battery temporarily stops if it is overloaded or
the maximum current draw is exceeded, protecting the internal
components. The Battery will resume normal operation when the
current draw returns to a normal safe level. This may take a few
seconds
• Short circuit protection: The Battery will stop working immediately
if a short circuit occurs, this prevents damage to the Battery or tool

Removing the Battery
To remove the Battery (8), press the Battery Release (7) and slide the
Battery out of the Battery Mount (6) (Fig. I (a-b))
Installing a charged Battery
1. To fit a charged Battery (8), slide it into the Battery Mount
(6) (Fig. I (c))
Note: The Battery will fit only in one direction, which is determined
by its shape and the design of the Battery Mount. However, if the
Battery does not slide into the Battery Mount easily, do not force it.
Instead, pull the Battery out of the Battery Mount again, check for
correct position, and try again gently.
2. Push the Battery into the Battery Mount until it locks into
place securely
Setting up the Charger
1. If fitted, remove the Battery (8) from the Battery Charger
(16) (Fig. II (b))
2. Connect the Battery Charger to the mains power supply
Note: The Green LED (18 on the Battery Charger will illuminate to indicate
that the Charger is powered.
WARNING: The Battery Charger is designed for indoor use only and
must not be exposed to moisture and rain.
Charging the Battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging the
Battery (8) will result in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 hour for a recently fully-discharged Battery,
but if the Battery has been left in a discharged state for some time, it may
take extended time to charge.
1. Slide a discharged or partially discharged Battery onto the
Battery Charger (16) (Fig. II (a))
Note: Make sure the Battery and Battery Charger are lined up
correctly. If the Battery does not slide onto the Battery Charger
easily, don’t force it. Instead, remove the Battery, then check that
the top of the Battery and the Battery Charger slot are clean and
undamaged and that the Charger Terminals (19) are not bent.
2. Once charging commences, only the Red LED (17) will
illuminate
Note: If the Red LED is not constantly illuminated after an
uncharged Battery is inserted into the Charger, the Battery or
Charger may be faulty. Recheck the Battery is fully inserted in the
Battery Charger. If the fault persists do not use and contact your
authorised Silverline distributer.
3. When the Battery is fully-charged, only the Green LED (18)
will be illuminated
Battery Charge Level
The Battery has a built-in Battery Charge Indicator (9). Pressing on the
button to the right will indicate the charge level. The number of bars that
illuminate when the button is pressed indicate the charge level; 1 bar
indicating a low charge, 3 bars indicating a full charge.
IMPORTANT: When a low charge level is indicated, be aware the tool may
stop operating while in use. This may be dangerous. It is recommended to
always ensure the Battery has a good charge level.
Notes about battery charging
IMPORTANT: Batteries are an expendable supply whose capacity shortens
over time. Always adhere to the correct handling and charging instructions
in the manual. If the battery does not hold charge or working time is
shortened, purchase a genuine Silverline replacement.
