ensure that the battery is performing to its highest capacity.
Important Charging Notes
•
The charger and battery (5) 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 (5) in
direct sunlight or near heat sources.
•
If the battery (5) does not charge properly:-
1. Check current at 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 is flat and displays green charged LED, 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.
