Important Battery
Chargering Reminders
Longest life and best performance can
be obtained if the battery pack is
charged when the air temperature is
between 18 - 24°C (65 - 75°F). Does not
charge the battery pack in very low or
very high air temperature. This is
important and will prevent serious
damage to the battery pack.
1. When using your tool continuously,
the batteries in your battery pack will
become hot. You should let a hot
battery pack cool down for
approximately 30 minutes before
attempting to recharge.
2. The charger and battery pack may
become warm to touch while charging.
This is a normal condition, and does
not indicate a problem.
3. Use the charger in normal room
temperatures whenever possible. To
prevent overheating, do not cover the
charger and do not charge battery
packs in direct sunlight or near heat
sources.
4. If the battery pack does not charge
properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by
plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Move charger and battery pack to a
location where the surrounding air
temperature is appro. 18 - 24°C (65 -
75°F).
c. If charging problems persist, take or
send the tool, battery pack and
charger to an authorised local service
centre.
5. The battery pack should be
recharged when it fails to produce
sufficient power on jobs which were
easily done previously. DO NOT
CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging
procedure. You may also charge a
partially used pack whenever you
desire with no adverse effect on the
battery pack.
6. Under certain conditions, with the
charger plugged in to the power
supply, the exposed charging contacts
inside the charger can be shorted by
foreign material. Foreign materials of a
conductive nature such as, but no
limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil,
or any build-up of metallic particles
should be kept away from charger
cavities. Always unplug the charger
from the power supply when there is
