2. Insert the battery into the charger.
Firmly insert the battery into the charger till it
contacts the bottom of the charger and checking
the polarities as shown in
Fig. 3
.
CAUTION
䡬
If the batteries are inserted in the reverse direction,
not only recharging will become impossible, but it
may also cause problems in the charger such as
a deformed recharging terminal.
3. Charging
When inserting a battery in the charger, charging
will commence and the pilot lamp will light
continuously in red.
When the battery becomes fully recharged, the pilot
lamp will blink in red. (At 1-second intervals.) (See
Table 1
)
(1) Pilot lamp indication
The indications of the pilot lamp will be as shown
in
Table 1
, according to the condition of the charger
or the rechargeable battery.

(2) Regarding the temperatures of the rechargeable
battery.
The temperatures for rechargeable batteries are as
shown in the table below, and batteries that have
become hot should be cooled for a while before
being recharged.

Recharging ranges of batteries
(3) Regarding recharging time
Depending on the combination of the charger and
batteries, the charging time will become as shown
in
Table 3
.

NOTE
The charging time may vary according to
temperature and power source voltage.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger firmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
After operation, pull out batteries from the charger
first, and then keep the batteries properly.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries
and batteries that have not been used for an
extended period is not activated, the electric
discharge might be low when using them the first
and second time. This is a temporary phenomenon,
and normal time required for recharging will be
restored by recharging the batteries 2 – 3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become
completely exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery.
If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the
electric current, the battery may be damaged and
its life will become shorter.
