Important Battery Charging Reminders
Longest life and best performance can be obtained if the battery pack is charged when the air temperature is
between 18 – 24°C. Do not charge the battery pack in very low or very high air temperatures. This is important
and will prevent serious damage to the battery pack.
•
When using your tool continuously, the batteries in your battery pack will become hot. You should
let a hot battery pack cool down for approximately 30 minutes before attempting to recharge.
•
The charger and battery pack may become warm to touch while charging. This is a normal condition, and
does not indicate a problem.
•
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.
•
If the battery pack does not charge properly:
a. Check current at receptacle by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.
b. Move charger and battery pack to a location where the surrounding air temperature is approximately 18 -
24°C.
c. If charging problems persist, take or send the tool, battery pack and charger to an authorised local
service centre.
•
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.
•
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
no limited to, steel wool, aluminium foil, or any build-up 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 charger before attempting to clean.
•
Do not immerse charger in water or any other liquid.
•
WARNING!
Don’t allow any liquid to get inside charger. Electric shock 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 uninsulated trailer.
•
CAUTION!
Never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the plastic housing of the battery pack
breaks or cracks, return to an authorised service centre for recycling; do not put it into further use.
