Common Cautions for the Li-
ion/Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack
• The ambient temperature range is
between 0°C (3°F) and 40°C (104°F).
If the battery pack is used when the
battery temperature is below 0°C
(3°F), the tool may fail to function
properly.
• When charging a cool battery pack
(below 0°C (3°F)) in a warm place,
leave the battery pack at the place
and wait for more than one hour to
warm up the battery to the level of
the ambient temperature.
• Cool down the charger when charging
more than two battery packs consecu-
tively.
• Do not insert your fingers into contact
hole, when holding charger or any
other occasions.
CAUTION:
To prevent the risk of fire or damage
to the battery charger.
• Do not use power source from an
engine generator.
• Do not cover vent holes on the
charger and the battery pack.
• Unplug the charger when not in
use.
Li-ion Battery Pack
NOTE:
Your battery pack is not fully charg-
ed at the time of purchase. Be sure
to charge the battery before use.
Battery charger (EY0L80)
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
NOTE:
Sparks may be produced when the
plug is inserted into the AC power
supply, but this is not a problem in
terms of safety.
. Insert the battery pack firmly into the
charger.
1. Line up the alignment marks and
place the battery onto the dock on
the charger.
. Slide forward in the direction of the
arrow.
Alignment marks
3. During charging, the charging lamp will
be lit.
When charging is completed, an inter-
nal electronic switch will automatically
be triggered to prevent overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, immedi-
ately after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
flashing until the battery cools down.
Charging will then begin automati-
cally.
4. The charge lamp (green) will flash slow-
ly once when the battery is approxi-
mately 80% charged.
5. When charging is completed, the
charging lamp will start flashing quickly
in green color.
6. If the temperature of the battery pack
is 0°C or less, charging takes longer to
fully charge the battery pack than the
standard charging time.
Even when the battery is fully charged,
it will have approximately 50% of the
power of a fully charged battery at nor-
mal operating temperature.
7. If the power lamp does not light imme-
diately after the charger is plugged
in, or if after the standard charging
time the charging lamp does not flash
quickly in green, consult an authorized
service center.
8. If a fully charged battery pack is in-
serted into the charger again, the
charging lamp lights up. After sever-
al minutes, the charging lamp may
flash quickly to indicate the charging
is completed.
Ni-MH/Ni-Cd Battery Pack
NOTE:
When you charge the battery pack
for the first time, or after prolonged
storage, charge it for about 4
hours to bring the battery up to full
capacity.
