Output connector of the charging unit (direct
current): The outer part of the connector is the
negatice pole and the inner part is the positive pole.
If the temperature of the charging unit rises
above 130
o
C, the overtemperature cut-out will be
activated. The supply of current to the output is
then interrupted.
Caution – Read the operating instructions to reduce
the risk of injury
3.1 CHARGER SAFETY RULES
CAUTION!
Read all safety regulations and instructions.
Any errors made in following the safety regulations and
instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Keep all safety regulations and instructions in a safe place
for future use.
a) The charging unit is not allowed to be used for non-
rechargeable, normal batteries.
b) Sufficient ventilation is required.
c) The current and voltage information on the battery pack
must be the same as that on the charging unit.
d) Do not expose the charging unit to water or rain.
e) Do not throw old or damaged batteries into water or fire.
Follow the environmental protection directives.
f) A defective or no longer chargeable battery must
be treated as special waste. Dispose of it at a special
collection point. Do not dispose of it with your normal
household waste or throw it into water or fire.
g) Place the charging unit away from all sources of heat.
h) To reduce the risk of electric shock, pull the power plug
out of the socket outlet by the plug itself and not by the
cable when you want to disconnect the charging unit
from the power supply.
i) Do not take the charging unit apart. Take it to an
authorized repair center if servicing or repairs are needed.
Incorrect assembly can result in an electric shock, fire or
even death.
j) This equipment is not designed to be used by people

3.4 OPERATION (FIG. 1+2)
3.4.1 Charging the Li-Ion battery pack (Fig. 1-2)
1. Press the pushlock button (c) and pull the battery pack (2)
out of the equipment as shown in Fig. 2.
2. Check that your mains voltage is the same as that
marked on the rating plate of the battery charger. Insert
the power plug of the charger (1) into the mains socket
outlet. The green LED (a) will then begin to flash.
3. Insert the battery pack into the charger. The red LED (b)
will light up to indicate that the battery pack is being
charged. When the charging is finished, the green LED (a)
will shine with a steady light. Discharged battery packs
require approx. 1 hour for charging. The temperature of
the battery may rise slightly during the charging. This is
normal.
If both LEDs (a, b) flash after the battery pack has been
inserted, the battery pack is defective. In this case pull out
the charger plug immediately and remove the defective
battery pack. Do not use the defective battery pack again.
If both LEDs (a, b) light up after the battery pack has been
inserted, the charging temperature is either low or too
high. In this case, pull out the mains plug of the charger
and charge the battery in an environment in which the
temperature is either warmer or colder.
If the battery fails to charge, please check
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging contacts of
the charging unit
