Operation
Setting up the Charger
1. If fitted, remove the Battery from the Battery Charger (1)
2. Connect the Battery Charger to the mains power supply
Note: The Green LED (3) 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 will result in permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 1 – 2 hours for a recently fully-discharged
battery, depending on the Battery capacity. However, 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 (1)
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 (4) are not bent.
2. Once charging commences, only the Red LED (2) will illuminate
Note: If the Red LED is not constantly illuminated after an
uncharged Battery is inserted into the Battery Charger, the Battery
or Battery 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 (3) will be
illuminated
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.
• The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures
between 10°C and 40°C (ideally around 20°C)
• After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool
before use
• Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains
supply after use, and is stored correctly
• Do not leave batteries on charge for extended periods and
never store batteries on charge
• The charger monitors battery temperature and voltage
while charging. Remove the battery once charging has been
completed to maximise charge cycles of the battery and not
waste power
• Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in
the battery can fail, and the battery could short. The
charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another
battery, if possible, to check correct functionality of the
charger and purchase a replacement battery if a faulty
battery is indicated
• Do not store Lithium-ion battery packs in a discharged state
long term. This can damage the Lithium-ion cells. For long-
term storage, store batteries in a high charge state
disconnected from the power tool
•
The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100
charge cycles, the battery’s operation time and the
performance will slightly reduce. This decline will continue
until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge
cycles. This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack
Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect the tool from the power supply, before
cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
