3. Use the charger in normal room temperatures whenever
possible. To prevent overheating, do not cover the charger
and do not charge battery packs in direct sunlight or near
heat sources.
4. If the battery pack does not charge properly:
(1) Check the main socket by plugging in a lamp or other
appliance.
(2) Move the charger and battery pack to a location where
the surrounding air temperature is approximately 18-24
o
C.
(3) If charging problems persist, take or send the tool,
battery pack and charger to your local service centre.
5. The battery pack should be recharged when it fails to
produce sufficient power on jobs which were easily
done previously. DO NOT CONTINUE to use under these
conditions. Follow the charging procedure. You may also
charge a partially used pack whenever you desire with no
adverse effect on the battery pack.
6. Under certain conditions, with the charger plugged in to
the power supply, the exposed charging contacts inside
the charger can be shorted by foreign material. Foreign
materials of a conductive nature, such as, but not limited
to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any buildup of metallic
particles, should be kept away from charger cavities.
Always unplug the charger from the power supply when
there is no battery pack in the cavity. Unplug the charger
before attempting to clean it.
7. Do not immerse the charger in water or any other liquid.
WARNING!
Don’t allow any liquid to get inside the charger;
electric shocks may result. To facilitate the cooling of
the battery pack after use, avoid placing the charger
or battery pack in a warm environment, such as in a
metal shed, or an un-insulated trailer.
