Battery charger
1. Plug the charger into the AC outlet.
2. Insert the battery pack firmly into the
charger.
1. Line up the alignment marks and
place the battery onto the dock on
the charger.
2. Slide forward in the direction of the
arrow.
3. During charging, the charging lamp
will be lit.
When charging is completed, an in-
ternal electronic switch will auto-
matically be triggered to prevent
overcharging.
• Charging will not start if the battery
pack is warm (for example, imme-
diately after heavy-duty operation).
The orange standby lamp will be
flashing until the battery cools
down.
Charging will then begin automat-
ically.
4. The charge lamp (green) will flash
slowly once the battery is approxi-
mately 80% charged.
5. When charging is completed, the charg-
ing lamp in green color will turn off.
6. If the temperature of the batter 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. Consult an authorized dealer if the
charging lamp (green) does not turn
off.
8. If a fully charged battery pack is in-
serted into the charger again, the
charging lamp lights up. After several
minutes, the charging lamp in green
color will turn off.
