Charging the battery pack
(Fig. 2)
Note:
Newly purchased Batteries are not fully charged and must be charged before using
in your cordless tool(s).
1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage source.
2. Insert the battery pack so that the ribs on the battery pack slide into the grooves on the
battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the charger. (Fig.2)
3. When the battery pack is inserted, the Red LED will light, indicating the charger has
started the charging cycle. A Green light will indicate the battery is completely charged
and should be removed from the charger. (Fig.2)
4. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.
5. Other tips for extending Battery life: Do not store batteries completely discharged.
Charge them fully before storing.
Overload Protection
The power cutter is fitted with an overload/overheat protection device. When the tool is
forced to work at an excessive load, the protection device will be activated automatically
to disconnect the power supply. If this occurs, switch off the tool and switch on again to
resume the work, make sure to apply only suitable workload to the tool. When the tool
works under heavy load for a long period of time, the temperature of the tool or battery
pack will increase significantly. The protection device will be activated at a preset temperature
to protect both the tool and the battery. If this occurs, switch off the tool and wait until it
cools down to ambient temperature and resume work.
Note: when the voltage of battery pack is dropped to 7.5V, the protection device will also be
activated. In this case, remove the battery pack and fully charge it before reuse.
