Initial Charge
•
When the unit is on charge, both the red and green LED light will illuminate.
•
When the battery is fully charged, only the green LED light will be illuminated.
The red LED will go out, indicating the battery is no longer being charged.
•
Charge your battery for 3 – 5 hours then use it until it runs down and only
slowly operates.
•
The battery will not reach its full capacity until it has been recharged 4 to 5 times.
Important Charging Notes
•
The charging adaptor (7) and battery (4) may become warm to touch while
charging. This is a normal condition, and does not indicate a problem.
•
Use the charger at normal room temperature whenever possible. To prevent
overheating, do not cover the charger and do not charge the battery (4) in
direct sunlight or near heat sources.
•
If the battery (4) does not charge properly:-
1. Check current at mains power outlet by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
2. If charging problems persist, have the complete drill checked by an
electrician or a power tool repairer.
Note:
If battery (4) is flat and only the green LED light is illuminated, refer to
Thermal voltage protection note below cooling maybe required.
Thermal voltage protection indication
In the event that the thermal or voltage protection circuit has been activated the
battery will cease to operate. This can happen when the tool has been used for
extended periods or worked hard with large drill bits or accessories.
If you place the battery on the charger the LED lights will give you the appearance that
the battery is fully charged. Leave the battery on the charger to charge for 3-5 hours.
The battery may take the full 5 hours to charge as the battery may need to cool
down or the protection circuit to be reset. This will then allow the charger to begin
charging the battery and resume normal operation.
