• If charging does not take place,
ensure all connections are clean
and free of grease etc.
• If the red charging light will not stay
on for more than a few moments,
the battery pack is likely to be
defective and it must be replaced
with a new one.
• When charging is complete
(typically after about 1/2 hour), the
RED charging light goes off and the
green light turns back on. The
battery pack can be considered
charged and be removed. The
charging time will be dependant
upon the initial state of the batteries.
• When charging a new battery pack it may initially not accept full
charge. This is common & does not indicate a fault. It can be
recharged fully after it has been discharged a couple of times.
6. After charging, switch off and unplug the charger from the power supply.
7. Remove the battery pack from the charger and slide it back into the
machine until it clips into place.
The battery pack should slide in easily.If the battery pack is not to be fitted
immediately, ensure that the metal contacts are protected so as to avoid the
possibility of a short circuit which would cause damage.
Remember to avoid extremes of heat or cold when charging. Avoid
temperatures outside the range of
Minimum 4°C /Maximum 50°C.
Avoid
placing batteries in direct strong sunlight or other heat source.
NOTE:
Ni-Cad batteries as used in Clarke cordless power tools should be
given a full charge when first supplied new. Maximum battery
performance will be achieved after approximately 5 complete
charge/discharge cycles.
NOTE:
The battery should be fully discharged before recharging in order
to achieve its optimum performance.
Constant topping up after
only a small amount of charge has been used will, in effect,
reduce its capacity.
