g)
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extrac-
tion and collection facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-re-
lated hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a)
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b)
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on
and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c)
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any ad-
justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control..
g)
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of
the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a)
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Use
This is a universal charger for accumulator batteries with the “Plug‑
in” NAREX interface, which is the same for the following accumula‑
tor batteries: 10�8 V, 12 V, 14�4 V, 18 V and 20 V� This device is intend‑
ed solely for the purpose listed�
Double insulation
To ensure maximum safety of the user our tools are designed and
built to satisfy applicable European standards (EN standards)� Tools
with double insulation are marked by the international symbol of
a double square� These tools must not be grounded and a two‑wire
cable is sufficient to supply them with power� Tools are shielded in
accordance with EN 55014�
Accumulator Battery Charge
Instructions
1� Please make sure that the power supply is the same as the
voltage listed on the manufacturer label on the charger� Con‑
nect the charger (2) to the power source� A red LED indicator
light (3) comes on� This means that the charger is ready to be
charged� Please check the power source connection if the red
LED indicator light does not come on� If the power source is
OK, bring the charger in for repair to an authorised service cen‑
tre�
2� Slide the battery (1) into the charger all the way�
3� The red LED indicator light turns off and a green LED indicator
light (3) begins blinking, indicating that the battery is in fast
charge mode�
4� The battery is fully charged after about 20 to 45 minutes (de‑
pending on the battery capacity) once the green LED indicator
light stops blinking and remains lit�
5� Disconnect the battery from the charger� If you do not wish to
charge another battery, disconnect the charger from the pow‑
er source�

* When the charger is activated after it is connected to power, the red and the
green LED indicator lights will blink for about 1 second, then the red LED indica-
tor light will stop blinking and remain on (constant light).
New batteries:
Battery capacity may be slightly smaller than the listed value dur‑
ing the first few initial charge cycles� The reason is that the chem‑
ical composition of the batteries has not been activated yet� This
is a temporary issue and will resolve on its own after a few charge
cycles�
Note:
• A blinking green indicator means that the battery is fully
charged or that it is in slow charge mode, which maintains a
low charge level of the battery�
• The initial battery charge may take longer than 20 to 45
minutes (according to battery capacity) depending on the
environment temperature, the power supply and the current
charge level�
• If you are not using the charger, please unplug it from the pow‑
er source�
Important information about the charging
process:
1� To get the best out of the batteries in terms of longevity and
performance is to charge them at an ambient temperature of
18 °C to 24 °C�
DO NOT CHARGE
the batteries at temperatures
below 0 °C and above 45 °C� This is very important� You will
prevent serious battery damage�
• Do not charge the batteries in direct sunlight, especially in the
summer! You will prevent extreme overheating, which could
damage them!
2� If a battery that is too cold (below 0 °C) is inserted into the
charger, the charger will not begin charging it right away;
instead, the green and the red indicator light will begin blink‑
ing� Once the battery reaches the right temperature naturally
(within the standard range), the fast charge process will begin
automatically�
• If a battery that is too hot (more than 45 °C), is inserted into the
charger, the charger will not begin charging it right away; in‑
stead, the green and the red indicator light will begin blinking�
Once the battery reaches the right temperature (within the
standard range), the fast charge process will begin automat‑
ically�
3� If it is not possible to charge the batteries properly (the red
indicator is blinking):
• Check that the battery contact surfaces are not dirty� Clean
them with a cotton wad and alcohol as needed�
• If the battery is still not charging properly, send or bring the
charger (including the batteries) to your nearest authorised
service centre�
