8. Remarks on the use of the battery cartridge and charging unit.
The charging unit type LGM4 is run with a nominal voltage of 230 V and a frequency of
50-60 Hz. New batteries must be charged prior to use. To remove the battery RA4 actuate
the battery lock and pull it out of the tool. To charge the battery (Pos.-No. 13) connect the
power plug of the charging unit with the power supply and slide the battery into the
charging unit. The charging time is 1 hour. The charging level of the battery cartridge can
be checked by the right LED (multicolour) of the charging unit.
Left LED (red)
Right LED (multicolour)

or unused batteries whose
nominal capacity is not sufficient.
Battery too hot or too cold. Remove battery. Safety
components possibly defect.

maintaining mode automatically. Battery can stay in
charger for undefinite time w/o being damaged.

Does the right LED not indicate the circuit of the
battery is disconnected or the battery is polarised
incorrectly.
Is the nominal capacity of the battery not achieved, e.g. at first charge, so the battery is not
necessarily faulty. The full capacity can be achieved after 3 charging/decharging cycles.
No other battery cartridges e.g. dry batteries or car batteries etc. are permitted to be used
neither in the tool nor in the charging unit.
As soon as the speed of the machine decreases noticeably the battery must be recharged.
Do not recharge a partially discharged battery as a precaution.
Avoid great fluctuating temperatures under 0°C and above 40°C. Through these
fluctuations damages may result for the battery cartridge as well as for the charging unit.
The best operation temperature is between 15-25 °C.
Do not leave or operate the charging unit in rain or snow. Do not charge the battery near
lightly inflammable materials or gases.
Do not use the cord to transport the charging unit or to pull the plug out of a wall socket
with force. Do not insert strange parts into the ducts of the charging unit.
The charging of the batteries must only be done with charging units supplied by the
manufacturer.
Attention
Do not place the battery in your pocket or in your toolbox if there are any
conductive materials in it such as coins, keys, tools or other metallic parts.
Pull the plug of the charging unit after charging. Do not disassemble the charging unit or
battery.
In order to safeguard a safe and proper performance of the charging unit the repair and
service of the unit should be made through our Service Center.
